Lumpy Lemon

the business lunch is barcelona’s oldest and most established business networking event. it brings together members of the english-speaking business community in barcelona to foster a network of mutual business relationships and interest.

ishka was invited to document this monthly event in photographs, many of which you can see on the business lunch website.

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! the website is very active and dynamic to encourage visitors to return regularly: sarah constantly blogs, adds new photos to the gallery and keeps a record of her fundraising achievements.

martin stott is a busy man! he’s head of environment and resources at warwickshire county council, works for several charities, writes books, authors reports, and somehow finds time for photography and growing his own veggies. martin-stott.com was developed to bring together all his writings and information on his work and interests into one easy to use, clear, website.

oxtalk is a charity providing ‘talking newspapers’ to blind and visually impaired people around oxford. when they approached us they were still using cassette tapes, but knew they would need to switch to digital media in the near future. we designed their new logo and built oxtalk.org.uk to the highest standards of accessibility – it was unanimously approved by their network members. we now apply this level of accessibility to all our sites as a matter of course. we recently added the functionality for the ‘listen online’ feature, so members can now subscribe to the rss feed (podcast) for the latest edition, or listen to any edition from the archive.

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

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 and co2, and how this can save them money. lumpy lemon also designed the logo to be used on all the business materials.

a fantastic event for which we created a very strong identity with striking images and colourful designs. used on posters, flyers, newspaper articles, magazine adverts, website, bus and street banners. we then designed the programme distributed during the yummy weeekend.

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.
