I found that most of the Bootstrap grids for Sketch did not use Sketch’s Show Layout (Ctrl–L) or don’t mark the midpoint of column gutters, so that’s why I made this grid template. I hope you like it!
Fellow Mac users, have you ever wanted to make a window fill the screen but didn’t want to use the default full-screen mode (where the menubar disappears)?
There are new (hidden) ways to enlarge your window without going full-screen (which I honestly don’t like). They work in macOS Sierra and later.
When creating numbered lists in InDesign, I like the numbers to align to the right (so they align on the period). Doing this is not as intuitive as it should be, so I wanted to share how it’s done.
I like the new dark mode in macOS Mojave, but sometimes I need to switch back to light mode. I wanted a faster way than having to go into System Preferences. While looking for an answer, I came across a simple AppleScript that I want to share with everyone. Don’t worry if you’ve never even used and AppleScript before, this is easy to use and you don’t have to understand anything about AppleScript!

I could not find a Bootstrap grid for Photoshop that uses artboards, so I made one. I hope you like it! Artboards require Photoshop CC, so this won’t work in CS6 or older.
To show hidden files/folders in the Mac Finder or Open/Save dialogs you don’t have to use Terminal commands, all you need is one keystroke!
In CC 2017, Adobe completely redesigned Photoshop’s File > New dialog, but it’s slow to open and not as nice to use. The useless thumbnails are large, while the written specs (which are the most important thing) are smaller and harder to scan.
Luckily there’s a way to get the previous dialog back! (This also works in Adobe Illustrator.)
It’s possible to take a screenshot on the Apple TV (4th-generation) or even record a video, but it requires a Mac and a cable to plug into the USB-C port on the Apple TV. Here’s how…

Did you know that InDesign can quickly print the page (or pages) you have selected in the Pages panel? It’s easy to miss this nice little feature Adobe added to InDesign CC 2014.
We often need to switch between the content (text or photo) and the frame it’s in (the box). Here are some tips to quickly switch back and forth between the content and its container.
Did you know in Apple’s Mobile Safari browser you can reopen a tab that you recently closed? It’s pretty well hidden, so many people would never know. It remembers the last 5 tabs you closed, and here’s how to find it.
I made my first YouTube video for Deke’s Techniques: The Challenge, back in 2012. The techniques still work (even in the latest versions of Illustrator), so I wanted to post it here now that I have a blog.
I won third place with this video. The contest had specific requirements for content and time, but I think you’ll learn some cool text effects in Illustrator.
Shutting down Windows 8 was harder than you’d think, so I made a video showing how it works. The 8.1 update made things easier, so thankfully shutting down Windows 8.1 is easier.
