Overview

Redesigning Quality Methods Easier to Learn

Project Background

The Q Methods App is a multilingual internal training application (80+ pages) designed to support BMW employees in learning quality management methods.

The Challenge

Despite its rich content, the existing app lacked visual consistency and presented information in a dense, unstructured way which making it difficult for users to absorb and navigate the material effectively.

The Approach

Working closely with the project lead (engineer), the app was rebranded and restructured to create a more cohesive and user-friendly experience.

Design Direction

The renewed design balances playfulness and professionalism, delivering an engaging learning experience without appearing childish—an explicit requirement from the project lead.

Design Solution

Improve Learning through Visual Hierarchy

Balanced Visual Hierarchy

  • Reduced the logo size to balance the overall layout

  • Enlarged the "Start" button to enhance visibility and encourage user interaction

Clear Seperation for Better Focus

  • Improved user focus by clearly separating the profile section from the training list

  • Added unique icons to each training to help users quickly identify and differentiate content

Structured Navigation with Progress Feedback

  • Introduced chapter overview pages for better context and smoother navigation

  • Added a progress bar to each chapter page to visually communicate learning progress

Visually Guided Contents Page

  • Added color-changing icons next to each training title to indicate the current selection

  • Used the brand’s green background to reinforce identity

  • Applied accent colours to distinguish each training and improve visual consistency

Clear and Interactive Quiz Layout

  • Included progression text (e.g. "Question 2/5") to inform users of their current position in the quiz

  • Applied different colours to each multiple-choice option to enhance visual separation and reduce cognitive load

Brand Identity Redesign

Simplifying the Logo

From Inconsistent Visuals to a Unified Identity

The existing app lacked a clear visual identity, making the experience feel fragmented across screens.


By introducing a structured colour system inspired by BMW's corporate branding and refining the logo, I created a more cohesive and recognisable identity for the Q Methods App.

Logo Design

I retained the original shape and incorporated the letter ‘Q’ to represent the project’s identity, creating a simple and modern logo for the Q Methods App.

Challenges & How I overcame them

Balancing Consistency and Distinction Across Modules

Challenges

Maintaining consistency across a large number of screens

Similar content across modules required clear differentiation


Solution

Unified shared page structures

Applied distinct accent colours to support module recognition

What I would do differently

Aligning Design Decisions Earlier with Technical Constraints

PowerApps scaled text and components differently than Figma

I would align designs with PowerApps behaviour earlier

Earlier collaboration with engineers would support a smoother handoff.

What I learned

Aligning Design Decisions Earlier with Technical Constraints

Designing requires understanding the development environment

UI/UX is not only visual. Technical constraints matter

Close collaboration with developers leads to realistic, buildable designs
