This plugin automatically creates placeholder content for design mockups within Bohemian Coding’s Sketch. Once installed, selecting a menu item will instantly generate photographic avatars, hypothetical user names and geo location data. This animation demonstrates how ridiculously easy it is to turn standard rounded rectangles into user avatars.

The plugin was created by Timur Carpeev and is available on GitHub. It currently works only with Sketch version 3.

Also, for those wondering: there’s an obvious potential overlap between this plugin and Facebox, the pack of royalty-free user icons that I created last year with my friend Matt. He and I have been talking about adapting this plugin to utilize Facebox’s avatars and hope to have something working soon.
