Hey guise,
What software or tool do you use to create multiple "responsive breakpoints" when designing a website. I have been using Photoshop for my design layouts for years now...and I'm getting tired of creating multiple designs for: 2560px, 1440px, 1024px, 375px etc... Does anyone have any good advice? I'm referring to the "design and layout" aspect of website design and not prototyping.
- Are you only doing template pages or all pages?Hayoth
- 1. Sketch
2. Responsive symbols
3. Sketch just released smart layout too
https://www.sketch.c…whatthefunk - 4. Usually site is coded so that design gives 320, 768, and 1024 only b/c site is coded to be responsive in between. That's too many breakpoints imo.whatthefunk
- I'm creating a variety of pages, Gawd there has to be an easier way.utopian
- What "whatthefunk" said, but, use Fireworks
, XD, or Sketch otherwise PS, do a favor to yfOBBTKN - Sketch all the way for me. Using symbols everything can be responsive. As things start to break down, you can define breakpoints manually. Invision Studio mightmandomafioso
- be even better but I haven't played with it as much yet. Looks promising though.mandomafioso
- damn, its painful to hear people are still using PS for this kind of work.Al_dizzle
- I work with Sketch because of the dev workflow, buuuut in secret i do everything in a big ass psd :D I use smart objects, sometimes exported psbs :)sted
- What- are your devs accessing sketch for execution? I used but our devs don't.Hayoth

Geez, I feel so bad for a freelancer I have working with me for a few days. Only met him over the phone, looked him up on the web to check out his portfolio (I didn't choose or hire him), and his name is the same as some guy who raped someone in a nursing home, who has articles literally all of the first page of Google results about that rape and his arrest.

i'm just not into the complainer culture one bit.
to be the change you want to see in this world is of way higher virtue then complaining about what is wrong with the world and/or demanding change of others. i wonder how many people drove gas fueled cars to the protests today in which they protested carbon emissions (climate change). how many of them ate meat today? used single-use plastics? i mean if you're part of the problem then why not just protest against yourself? if you want to enlighten us, why not fix the world through your own actions and show us rather than tell us? some kids out there are actually creating solutions to our plastics problems, our water problems, our carbon issues, etc.. yet many kids out there are just complaining and demanding action of others and it appears society puts these kids in the spotlight as if they're actually changing things..
- 100% We are living in the golden age of emergent technology. I want our future to be flying in space, not marching for UBI.IRNlun6
- Bit complainyFax_Benson
- Not many people are in positions to pause on life and pursue these things. Not many at all.monospaced
- Many people are doing just a little to try to not be as much of the problem, but there’s no escaping it. Kinda rough to criticize them for it no?monospaced
- I mean, shit. Even using a cell phone is contributing to the carbon problem. So when someone fights for a cause, maybe don’t be so hard on them k?monospaced
- Bliz isn't saying that they're not doing enough, only that their level of whining is incongruous to their behaviourGnash
- I see. I suppose the complaining is toward those people in the world that DO have the ability to change things. The 1% and top corps for example.monospaced
- If people didn’t complain, there would likely be little progress toward progress and change. Can’t really be mad at them for at least speaking up.monospaced
- It is, after all, quite impossible to detach from being the issue completely. Anyway. Carry on, this was a fun complaint to read from a hypocrite.monospaced
- thanks IRN. mono responded 6 times but didn’t make 1 valid pointbliznutty
- Whole Lotta adults complaint and whine as well. Just look at Qbn.pango
- I most definitely made a point. And you’re complaining.monospaced
- i honestly don't see anything wrong w/ the strike in and of itself.. it's the attitude that mono expresses how change is in the 1%, corporations, or adults.bliznutty
- the message that would create the most change should be one of individual sacrifice for the greater good and the affect consumers have on what producers producebliznutty
- Sure. But that isn’t a possibility for most people. Including you.monospaced
- My POINT is that. So it doesn’t make sense to criticize them for what they cannot do. Or what you cannot do.monospaced
- mono.. you’re arguing for the sake of arguing. a good example of individual sacrifice is to go vegan, limit your use of plastics, etc.. is this hard for you?bliznutty
- mono > blizscruffics
- Vegans are the loudest whining complainers of anyone! Oh, and going vegan IS NOT good for the planet.monospaced
- curious... whats your counter for vegan's argument? i not vegan or vegetarian. heck i dont even eat healthier than most of you. just curious.pango

Sad little man that I am, I've just gone through and collated a list of 'recent QBN respondents' and the list tops 120, not including about 4 names I suspect of being pseuds.
I'm sure there's some ratio of lurkers to active users for things like this, so it seems that QBN stil lhas a bit of life in her yet.
I tend to fall in to the trap too of thining there's like 5 of us, 10 of whom are pseuds... .
.
Mind you, there appears to be one, *maybe* two women here.

I'm no grill master, but I absolutely nailed it this past Saturday night. Had some friends over and grilled some burgers, spare ribs and peppers - and I say again...I NAILED IT.
Kids were saying "these burgers taster better than Wendy's", adults were saying "these peppers are so good, how did you season them?"
I felt so good that I drank another beer and threw another log on the fire pit. In that order.- love these moments—they're the reason I bury myself in cooking videos / books / events—watching someone 'melt' over a bite of food you prepped is pretty cool :)PonyBoy

I've just been told that a job that's been in discussion since July is actually to be completed and in a foreign country by the weekend after this. Slightly panicked. If everything goes right, and nothing calamitous happens, I can get it there. It's a large and time-consuming endeavour, so it'll be tight.
I just wish there'd been a little more push to get things sorted sooner. But, the client's an amazing one, so I have to do whatever the fuck it takes to get the job done.
ho hum. So much stress.

Today at the Google NY offices, I walked past a large open area and it had places to lounge and large brown Teddy Bears everywhere to, I guess, curl up with. I paused for a moment at the site of people sitting next to Teddy Bears — then I noticed others walking right by like it was a totally normal thing, so I quickly acted like it was normal too and kept walking, by trying not to stare and look at who was with what Teddy Bear. When I walked by a bit later I noticed someone had returned the 6'6" Blond Teddy Bear back to the lounge area! And I walked right by, trying not to stare at the people in the Teddy Bear lounge.
