Better than before, but yoi might have to do some more cleanup:
Seems that you don't have a proper snap grid, componets are not completly aligned someone is 1deg off.
I quite hate easyeda key map and interface. So cant do better on that cad sw. I'm more an aAtium/Eagle guy I'll have to move to kicad some day 
This is what I did in a few minutes.
Yeah I draw this on my laptop with track pad, and I had the snap setting really low so I could do finer movements, but side effect was every time rotated some with cursor, 9/10 it would be 1 deg off, I wasn't aiming for beautiful I was aiming for functional with the intent of going back a cleaning up component alignment later.
I think you'll be happy with my improvements, everything is much better aligned, and took you ideas and did a couple of tweaks like swapping wire holes to move the data line to the middle, I also rotated the crystal to allow me to have the ground plan cover as much of the USB data trace path as possible.
What is the deal with the gazillion of ports symbols in the schematic? Was a reason that i do not see why you did not connect wires to the chip ? This makes schematics difficult to read and is usually a sign of immaturity of the schematic creator.
It was a hack to make my life easy when laying out the board, when I first started trying to layout board I was using generic pin headers for all the wire holes and contacts, and keeping them sorted was doing my head in, I tried labeling net paths manual in the PCB editor, but any time I made a change to the Schematic to fix a error or change a component, when I applied the changes to the PCB it defaulted the net path names and broke all the links, so I did a ugly hack to make it work for me. And honestly it's still easier to read than most of the examples I was working from.
@TAZ-NZ Avoid stubs and avoid sharp angles >90°
@hitech95 your Design is fairly good but you also need to avoid stubs with your ground plane and fix your heat traps. (Are they really necessary here?)
I also see 1 sharp corner on your Bottom...
Might be pedantic for such a mini design but the more used you get to avoid the little sins the better your bigger designs will be.
Edit: When talking about the heat traps I am referring specifically the ones of the vias. The ones on the smd Pads are fine.
By stubs I presume you mean bits sticking out from the ground plan edge ? If you can circle and example on one of my layout in MS paint that would great, If I have a clear example I know what to avoid.
I've tried to avoid any 90 traces, but not sure about one like the clock pin in the top left of the where it leave the contact at 90 degs.
Sorry I'm total noob (reason this is posted in beginner section.) what do you mean buy a heat trap ?
Like I said in title my first PCB layout so I have a lot to learn, happy to have any construct feed back.
My design is just for an idea of component placement. I don't know how to properly setup easyeda. (I've tried but no luck, my lunch break is small)
I just ended moving the componets around and cleaned some of the polygon that was present in the bottom layer. (probaly to cover the thermal relief of the groundplane)
My main goal was to show a better layout for the USB lanes, that was quite complicated before (lots of bends).
Thank you for the input It's just what I need to improve my design, and sorry for subject you to EasyEDA, a coupe of the examples were already in it, so it made sense for me to use what was in front of me, I think I tried one of the better known packages before and got no where fast.
I can't believe I didn't think to move ESD diodes to the back of the PCB, I remember thinking I got a lot of empty space is there anything else that should be on the back side of the board.
Probaly this a simple circuit that would work in any case, but my first concern as Bud said is the schematic that have a lots of ports making it harder to read.
Now if that one is correctthe PCB can be created in any case, but a general celanup before production is a must in this case.
Sorry for the schematic, I didn't think it would be that hard to read, as I said above it was a hack to make my life easier, I plan to go back to normal links.
I have no idea, but is it common to use an inductor with a ohm rating and not a Henry value?
It took me longer than I would have likely to see that VCC was coming from your 5V USB and then became the 5 VCC points and also tied to VCC on the micro and UVCC, etc. I typically use something that ALSO calls out which rail it is. For example "VCC 5V USB", "VBAT 12V", "INVERTED 5V BUCKBOOST", "RAIL 24V", etc, just me personally but then I know what it is and where it came from. Otherwise I would have applications with VCC VDD VDD2, etc.
As far as the PBC goes. IDK. Whatever, I'm not being paid to trace it all out!
One issue I do see there is that your XTAL1/XTAL2 will be a pain in the ass to solder nicely. Don't connect SMD parts directly to planes. Too much heat and your solder will be a mess. Even with silkscreen it's just not ideal. Instead use "thermal" connections in your PCB software. Makes a pad that has 2 or 4 connections to ground still, but enough disconnected to allow the heat to stay right there instead of flowing out into your ground.
I think it's 10 µH I need to double check, I basically found the value in spec sheet punched it in to parts search and selected the size and clicked on the component that had the best match to what the spec sheet said, and fired the part number it to the editor, I didn't label it, but now I know I need to have another look.
The schematic was some issues, I designed it to work or me, and hoped it wouldn't be too confusing for others, I will try to tidy it up later.
I'll keep the soldering issues and heat wicking in mind, I really just used the editors copper fill tool, but it looks like to get a good result I'll need to do more manually or look to changing to a better app.
