Lundgren+Lindqvist were asked to design and develop the new Göteborg Nonstop based on a self hosted WordPress publishing platform. The first part of the project was structuring the existing material and separating posts in to the more personal blogs and a news feed. Göteborg Nonstop also requested some added functionality to the site; mainly an events calendar and the possibility to add advertisement, which is carefully selected so that the site will not fall in the same trap as previous mentioned website. Both functions are now integrated in the WordPress admin panel of the site, using a combination of existing plug-ins and code written specifically for the site. Other special features of Göteborg Nonstop include the round thumbnails for each post on the main page, generated automatically from the first image of each post.

The main page header illustration is designed by Karolina Eriksson from the Lula collective.

Our business cards are triplexed GF Smith Colorplan (Cool Grey, Bright Red and Pristine White) and have negative embossing, foil blocking and UV-varnish. The letter paper is Colorplan Pristine White with negative embossing and the S65 window envelopes are made out of Colorplan Cool Grey.

The promotional poster, which was mailed to selected advertising agencies, clients, design magazines and blogs, to promote the new website, is printed on both sides on MultiArt Silk paper with partial UV-varnish and water-varnish finishing. One side displays the actual website and the other the underlying code, two sides of our business. The intentional typo in the headline (neue instead of new) hints of the use of the Helvetica Neue typeface throughout the identity.

The content is divided into different categories (useful, social media, entertainment, education), each assigned a certain colour to simplify the navigation.
The portal is designed to be useful for both existing students and the inhabitants of Borås and also to show potential students that Borås is a really happening city.

We were approached to redesign MariaLiv’s identity and website. Our main focus was to find a suitable, clean structure which allowed the diverse range of products to be displayed without disturbing graphic elements.

Filmhouse is a film production studio striving to be on the cut­ting edge of the industry. Founded 8 years ago they have established themselves with a custom built studio facility outside Skövde and a Gothenburg office.

Lundgren+Lindqvist were approached to work on Lewin Consulting’s branding ranging from logotype and printed matter to the company’s website.

The symbol consists of an L and C merged into a single unit representing the additive nature of Lewin Consulting’s approach – adding a key element to make a functioning whole. Sort of like a jigsaw puzzle.

02. Online portal designed and produced for The Eye – a weekly club held at the legendary jazz venue Nefertiti in Gothenburg. Residents Sankt Göran (Hermanos), Elof, DJ Nibc (Trunkfunk Records) and Cazuma together with guests from all over the world play a mix of “jackin’n’deep house & techno”.
The site functions both as a blog and an agenda for upcoming club nights and gigs and is built in WordPress.

03. Website designed for Blenda’s DJ-courses. Blenda was Gothenburg’s best record shop for around ten years before they had to close down 2008 year due to decreasing sales. Now former owner Blenda-Lars, together with DJ Demonika, run Blenda’s DJ-courses teaching club kids how to spin records, CDs and Serato. The site is built with WordPress.

04. The Compadres is an advertising agency set out not only to create great advertising. They have an office that is completely furnished by recycled stuff and they each month invest in a number of children in South America, ensuring they get food, clothes and education.

We were approached to design and produce The Compadres homepage. The site is built in an editorial way mixing general news with client cases with an option to sort the content, both after category and client. The latest, or chosen, post is highlighted at the top while older posts are displayed as free flowing excerpts below. A feed collects tweets mentioning ‘compadres’ from Twitter and icons in the right column offer direct links to The Compadres on various social networks.

05. Website for Health Navigator, a Stockholm based company.

We have designed Odiggity’s visual identity and online presence (website, Myspace, blog etc) and work continuously with his merchandise and brand development.

For Svensk Tvättstuga, we did everything from identity, character design and programming of the website to structuring the huge amount of material gathered for the intended book and forming a strategically suitable way of presenting it online. We also helped with setting up accounts on the major social networks, like Twitter and Flickr, and incorporated these into the site. This way we make use of each networks strengths and at the same time extend the number of paths leading to the website.

Since the laundry room is a place that concern almost every Swede, the main focuses when designing and programming the website was accessibility and navigation, especially for an audience that might not be very familiar with web portals. With strong focus on the social aspect, the comment area is placed right next to the content, to emphasize your possibility to discuss each subject. You are also encouraged to contribute with your own material, such as photos or stories.

The symbol has several incorporated meanings. Besides representing the familiar sight of a tumbling washing machine it also symbolizes people mixing and socializing. If you look carefully, you can also see an S and a T made up from the different fields of tumbling water.

We were initially approached to programme the festival website. However, upon presenting a more comprehensive solution our part of the project grew to doing all design work (integrating the visual language previously developed for the Arn movies), designing and programming the website, negotiating media prices, incorporating social media in the marketing and so on. We worked with a project group and created a radio jingle (a medevial remix of one of Sweden’s most popular songs) and event marketing. We also had a live chat and live video broadcast from the press center (which was open to festival visitors) where we were working during the festival. An important aspect of our work was the honesty and transparency towards press and visitors which was also acknowledged in a few newspapers, many finding it amusing that ‘a festival with a medieval theme is the most modern when it comes to marketing’.

The website was built with WordPress. Arnfestivalen had it’s own Twitter, Flickr photostream, Youtube channel, blog, Facebook group and event. Numerous ads were designed and published in some of Swedens biggest newspapers as well as in the local press. Numerous articles were written about the festival and it was featured on Swedish channel TV4 and on GP TV.
