Last month, I wrote about a Photo Editing Program called Sketch. These are the the best plugins you need to know ASAP when starting out with Sketch.
Must-have Starter Plugins
Sketch Toolbox
Helps you download any plugin(all of the below)
Dynamic Symbol Button
Great for Wireframes or process oriented UIs
Create one button style and insert it anywhere in your layout with any length of text
Icon Font (Favorite Plugin)
Helps you insert line-icons, font-awesome, and a few other icon fonts from within the “Text” tool.
Pros:
– Easy to use
– You can change colors without have to change vectors, or screenshot
Cons:
– Tedious to insert multiple icons
Short Cuts

- O (oval)
- U (rounded rectangle)
- R (rectangle)
- Bring Forward, Backward, Send to front + backward
- A (Create an Artboard)
