One of the key elements for the design of mobile apps is the visual style guide, which serves as documentation and guide for all the teams involved in the development, especially the programmers who must implement the designs. In this course, you will learn how to create a step-by-step style guide that not only looks aesthetically appealing but that is also highly functional.
Christian Vizcarra—product Designer and teacher of the Design a Mobile App course—has been creating digital products for more than 9 years, being recognized by CSS Design awards, Behance and Awwwards, and in this course, he will teach you how to document, communicate, and export all components to create a professional style guide.

The course has an advanced level and is good, although if you don't work with the same software you get a little lost after the intermediate lessons. Still, it is very well explained.
