Gwen Schneider, Quality Control Inspector, LinkedIn Learning Reviewer rating 5 out of 5: This is such important information for those who are not aware of this. I cannot believe someone is addressing this issue and hopefully helping others to see the light.
Adam Sklar, Author, Accessibility Manager | Project Manager | Program Manager | Scrum Master | Product Owner | Agile | Scaled Agile (SAFe): I learned from the course it’s a good idea to include leveraging the marketing and sales teams to proactively help promote accessibility… It was a great course and I highly recommend it. Thank you!
Massimo Vellani Experienced UX Design Leader | Driving Innovation and User-Centric Solutions: If I were to highlight one key insight that this course has reinforced in my thinking, it would be the understanding that accessibility is beneficial for both users and businesses.

Leveraging Zeplin for design projects from Using Zeplin in Design Projects by David Karlins
September 28, 2023: The third of my trilogy of online courses for LinkedIn Learning dropped this week. The common thread is design-to-production workflow. The progression through the courses is 1) how to leverage accessible, universal, institutional style guides; 2) why and how to build accessibility into the design-to-development workflow from day one; and 3) cutting edge technology (Zeplin) for managing all this.

Zachary Baisley, AuthorSenior Developer: I have used and created style guides before in different forms for individual pieces for development work, usually 5-10 page pdfs exported from word or Illustrator containing basic color typography and other important visual and standard type information. But seeing the examples I have a whole lot of new ideas for additional sections and layouts I would like to try in the future and template for future projects:) Seeing examples of what other people do and how they lay out their information was pretty creative juice stirring.
