lumpy lemon

the main cultural agency for oxfordshire commissioned lumpy lemon to produce a wide range of materials for the “100 years of oxfordshire” celebrations. over a period of 10 months we produced a series of programmes, leaflets, books, maps and posters promoting many special events.

transitionculture.org is the personal blog of rob hopkins, one of the founders of the rapidly-spreading transition towns movement. his wordpress-powered blog was looking a bit dated so he asked us to completely redesign the entire site from the ground up. we developed several wordpress plugins to display the wide range of information on the site, and used open source software to improve the performance. around 1500 people visit the site daily, many of them getting involved & leaving comments.

for riders offers clothing, accessories and beautiful objects for horse lovers. over a period of two years we have developed an e-commerce website (ivriders.com), designed product labelling, provided studio photography and designed various promotional & business materials.

our brief for this job was to make a plumber’s website that looked nothing like all the other plumbers’ websites! so we came up with a clean, fresh, spacious design which you can see at aqueco.co.uk. every page has a ’snippet’ of info to show visitors the importance of saving water & co2, and how this can save them money. lumpy lemon also designed the logo to be used on all the business materials.

beautiful, fairly-traded jewellery photographed for oxfam’s catalogues and advertisements. our studio shots were then also used in pre-christmas publicity, in-store displays and other promotional materials.

for over two years we have supported this amazing woman and her incredible dream to row solo across the indian ocean. we provided web design (sarahouten.co.uk), portrait photography and publicity materials such as business cards and sponsorship packs. we hope to be on the beach to greet her when she arrives in mauritius at the end of her journey!

lumpy lemon has worked with crisis action since it was founded in 2005. we developed an initial website for them (crisisaction.org), then as their organisation grew, we developed this into a multi-lingual site. we also designed their annual reports. recently, we designed (at very short notice!) protectdrc.org which together with a national media campaign put pressure on the government to act in eastern congo.

for oak tree press we provided photography and design for the “first chapter series” - beautiful limited collectors’ editions of signed hardback books. we designed and laid out the j.m. koetzee series, as well as designing a number of magazine advertisements.

galeria brasil is a funky (and ethical!) brazilian gallery in east oxford. over five years we have created many promotional materials for them: advertisements, christmas cards, leaflets, invitations & postcards. we recently exhibited the first part of a long-term photography project “the magic of brasil”, based on the symbols and icons found in popular brazilian art.

fashion photography for sestra moja, the design label of antonia widdowson from oxford. a magical play between textures and shapes brought to life by the beauty of our model mariana magnavita.

this innovative chain of eco-shops commissioned lumpy lemon to design the publicity for the launch of their new shops within garden centres. we also provided all the studio product photography for use on their promotional materials & vouchers.

an oxford-based landscape design practise, we designed & developed topio’s website (topio.co.uk) that uses our powerful content management system. this allows it to be easily expanded & updated without the need for a webmaster. in addition to this, we worked on the business stationery & provided design & print consultancy services.
