Volkswagen Group - Desktop

I was hired as consultant to work on site at Volkswagen’s headquarters in Milton Keynes. There,  I was responsible for creating all the different styles and variations that would fit into their desktop templates. This included working with all of VW’s brands including, Seat, Audi, Commercial Vehicles & Skoda.



Simple by the sounds of it but the system was very rigid and wouldn’t allow for much flexibility. So, I introduced a new number of templates with some hacks that would allow the desktops to look good but still varied.

I was also responsible for being the mediator between Volkswagen and their development company, tracking bugs and communicating these to the developers in their own technical terms. Whilst I was there, a large part of the time was spent on training the editorial staff on using the system and getting their vision realized into the desktop sites. This ranged from showing them how to import data from their old database, to custom-designing graphics for different sections.

In the end the desktop looked great and was a huge improvement from their old system. Today the desktops are used in all their retail stores, workshops and support offices.
