Hello Citizen: A Social Media Model for Imperial Recruitment
http://citizenstudios.blogspot.com/2011/11/social-media-model-for-imperial.html
Friday, November 11. A Social Media Model for Imperial Recruitment. I found the above in my head whilst I had a headache. For a while I've been trying to create a diagram to show how a simple Social Media model might work, but it was as dry as a nat's chuff. Then for some reason when I broke it down into the Imperial arsenal it seemed to be quite a neat fit. So how do you get people to the site? How do we get this message out the people? Your Social Media arsenal should include the 3 basic's, Twitter, Li...

Tuesday, June 19. 10 Things our Grandchildren will laugh at. I predict that in the in the year 2063 the following things will be found humorous by our grandchildren:. 4 The Internet as a 'seperate thing' to the rest of your life. As a business model in 2012's multi touch, multi choice age, this seems preposterously outdated. Cancel your subscriptions now, before everyone laughs at you. Get in touch ben@citizenstudios.co.uk.

Hello Citizen: In a 2012 Style
http://citizenstudios.blogspot.com/2012/05/in-2012-style.html
Tuesday, May 15. In a 2012 Style. I'm not trying to be cool, but I don't even know what the Diamond Jubilee is, don't get me wrong I've got nothing against the Royal Family, if pushed I'd probably give them a 6 out of 10. I like Prince Charles, he appears alright, Harry's seems like a laugh, and Philip's is amazing, he seems to says all the right things at exactly the right moments. What are we trying to achieve by never looking forward? How do they feel about that? The bottom line is, it's frankly embar...

Hello Citizen: November 2011
http://citizenstudios.blogspot.com/2011_11_01_archive.html
Wednesday, November 30. Simple Social Strategy: Twitter. If Facebook is an Oil Tanker, then Twitter is a speedboat ( Sorry to mix my analogies, after this. This is Microblogging in the extreme, it's limited character count and instantaneous swirling, continuious stream of messages mean it's perfectly suited to customer service, consumer insight, real-time communication and utter bullshit/bollox. Say 'I freaking love Chips, doesn't anybody here not love Chips? There's 3 types of messages, General Updates.

Hello Citizen: New Cassettes – Winterhead
http://citizenstudios.blogspot.com/2012/01/new-cassettes-winterhead.html
Thursday, January 12. New Cassettes – Winterhead. Popular electric indie rock beat combo The New Cassettes. Approached me about a year ago to create the art for their new album on N13 Records and of course I agreed. we met in The Charles Bradlaugh and discussed what they were looking for. They wanted something reflective of their ideas behind the music, less abstract than perhaps some people might approach this, and with a little bit of Roxy Music sexiness thrown in. The shading and draw the hair, the en...

Hello Citizen: April 2012
http://citizenstudios.blogspot.com/2012_04_01_archive.html
Monday, April 16. Arrrrr Bisto, you patronising bastard. So the new Bisto advert wants us all to get together for one night a week, all sit at the table and eat 'proper' food, with a 'proper' gravy. Take a look below if you haven't seen it already. Most people I know do that already, when they can, and Bisto is not 'proper' gravy, I've seen Karen make proper gravy, it's it's way too much effort, to bother with. The work is and sometimes that's at tea time, so get off your high horse and stop preaching to...

Hello Citizen: Do you put your chocolate in the fridge?
http://citizenstudios.blogspot.com/2012/03/do-you-put-your-chocolate-in-fridge.html
Monday, March 26. Do you put your chocolate in the fridge? Every Social Media book I've read this year is super keen to stress how important 'good content' is, and they all resist trying to explain what actually makes good content, in doing so they end up preaching to the converted, after all does anybody actually go out of their way to put bad content on their Social Media strategy? Recently I posted a great logo I did for Colour Films. That got over 20 comments and a bunch of 'Likes'. What this dem...

Hello Citizen: The Bad Sleeves. No.1: Kasabian - Velociraptor
http://citizenstudios.blogspot.com/2011/10/bad-sleeves-no1-kasabian-velociraptor.html
Monday, October 3. The Bad Sleeves. No.1: Kasabian - Velociraptor. In the first of the series of what will obviously run into the thousands, I've decided to tackle the cover for the new Kasabian album, Velociraptor, a cover so woeful that upon seeing it, this (soon to be) long running feature was born. But it's not, it's the most eye catching part of the design, and it's NOTHING but a hole for the typography to sit in (which is terrible by the way). A great designer would have created the heads in a way ...
