BBC News Mock

These mocks are or at least I hope they are an improvement on my previous ones that have a simular design. (http://www.tvforum.co.uk/forum/viewtopic.php?t=28203)

Any comments...

Still the colours aren't very nice, and the fonts are wrong (In my opinion), but still, a nice concept is there, but the titles are YUCK!

And imagine Huw Edwards on Breakfast

Colours are all very messy. I don't think that it's the font that's wrong (apart from on the BBC NEWS logo - should be Gill Sans) it's just they're made it poor quality the characters are all jagged.

Not bad, but having things opaque it is hard to read them.
Try using something else other than Paint (if it is).

I thought they were translucent.

The mocks are a good effort, but they need to be more organised and easier on the eye.

Not very impressive I'm afraid. The text is rather hard to read, and the transparent effect looks awful.

I think it's a pretty good effort! If you work on it a bit more it could be even
better mate!

Thanks for all the comments.

I see what you mean about the translucency, but I do feel that most of the text if not all of it is readable.

Any suggestions of what I can do to bring the mock forward and improve it :

You need to use a much bolder font. The typeface you've chosen is far too thin, which makes the text hard to read. I would also ditch the transparent effect as I've described in my previous post.

There is room for potential here, so don't give up just yet.

This is my attempt at it, using the same style layout as you did.

Comments Welcome

I do like that, it is sort of different but similar to mine in ways - but i like it - it's good

Thanks, your design has a lot of potential, a little more work on it can improve it.

Mine could do with improvement, i'll be the first to admit it, i did it as an example.
