Living Ventures

Portrait of an entrepreneur

January 8th, 2012

Developing the profile of a leading figure in any business is something that is rarely undertaken. To mark the development of the Living Ventures blog we approached leading illustrator Nick Hardcastle – who regularly contributes artwork to top fashion and style magazines Esquire, and broadsheets including The Times and The Independent. Here Hardcastle worked quickly, drawing on all his skills to capture a fond likeness of visionary entrepreneur Tim Bacon, MD of Living Ventures Restaurants. The result, a superbly executed pen and ink portrait that can be used across a range of media both on and off line, in editorial campaigns, personal stationary as well as featuring on ‘that wall’ in ‘that rather nice frame’. Nice work if you can get it!

Lark PR

Business Website

August 6th, 2010

The Lark PR website was designed to showcase client work in a way that is easy to view and navigate. The fully standards compliant, semantic and accessible HTML4 and CSS3 code is compatible with all the latest web browsers and internet enabled devices (including mobile devices such as the iPhone and iPad).

The home page comprises an overview of all client work with each client ‘block’ containing a large clickable area that clearly highlights on mouse hover. This striking visual interaction encourages the visitor to click through for more information about the variety of services that were provided to that client.

Backend administration is also made extremely easy thanks to an advanced implementation of the open-source WordPress Content Management System (CMS). Lark PR have the ability to easily create new clients on the site, upload any number of pictures and provide a great deal of detail on the work and services that were carried out for the client. Custom background images can also be easily uploaded, such as on the About and Contact pages. The WuFoo Contact Form implementation allows Lark PR to track the number of website enquires on a monthly basis.

La Squadra

Identity and Branding

May 4th, 2010

The brand and logo have been developed in house at The Chimney House by 93ft.  We’ve started it with an open mind as to where it could go.  The aim is to let other people who perhaps feel on the fringes of cycling, who are in some way interested, to those who are regularly riding but would like to be part of a cycling lifestyle option.  The marque has been illustrated and developed by the fabulous hand of Tom Newell, master of the illustration featured on the 93ft Chimney in The Chimney House.  For more information about joining La Squadra visit the website.

The Chimney House

Blog Web Design

March 19th, 2010

The Chimney House website, designed and developed by 93ft, acquired a new blog add-on last week. As the website had already been built upon the WordPress platform, adding a blog to the existing system did not require any major re-factoring of the code. CSS styles were plugged in to the main stylesheet to allow for a slightly different look and feel to the main site. Blogs, by nature, require a much longer page and additional navigation. These elements, along with the existing web design, were taken into consideration during the construction of the new blog templates.

Launched alongside the blog is the new header banner which now appears site-wide. The header section has been streamlined and narrowed to bring the content further up the screen. This is to the benefit of users with lower screen resolutions as more of the content on the page is immediately visible. The logo has also been made larger and placed onto a contrasting background in order that it may be more apparent.
