The first pic in your new post this morning showed exactly why you should work on these away from the forum before coming back and posting - a significant improvement on your earlier efforts.

However you then seemed to post pretty much everything else you've probably created in recent weeks and it kind of becomes a mess again. All those varients of the Neighbours endboard don't look great and the ECPs aren't much better.

IMO look at those couple of blue on white logos and work from there - stick to that simple colour scheme and ensure the blue never appears directly over an image. I do think you're definately improving and you do have the beginning of something, but less is definately more.

P.S. Five USA on white looks quite promising (though makes me want pizza, and I don't even like pizza!). Your Five Star designs essentially need scrapping and starting again.


I appreciate this as I know that you haven't always been the biggest fan of the mock.

Ah the first comment on the tonight screen - you said the first image right? I really like that but I was presuming nobody commented because it was ok.

I uploaded a variety of neighbour promos because earlier in the mock it was suggested that instead of uploading one design I should what another mocker does and upload many for members to choose from, but I can understand if you didn't enjoy seeing that many of them. I have been working on the promo screens and especially the ECPs.

I hadn't really planned on changing the colour scheme and did have the vision of each channel having their own colour schemes - blue for five, pink for five star etc. ASO has been really helpful and recently suggested having a different colour for promo screens. However, I'll probably avoid placing over a picture like you've said which means I keep the blue and please everybody - same colour scheme and not placed horribly over a picture with clashing.

I can't emphasis how much it means to hear some positive feedback from you - I mean that in the nicest terms - because in the past, and now I look back rightfully, you were judgemental. I don't have anything available now and probably won't for a couple of days/into next week - if that - and when things are uploaded I'll stick to a specific aspect rather than loads of different things at a time.

Pizza haha? Once I have promo screens and stuff that goes with the main channel I will pursue the sister ones in more depth and get round to their presentation.

I agree that this is an improvement. It's funny I look back at page one and know how much it meant to me and how disheartened I was receiving the comments I did but even I am confused at some of the simple mistakes I was making.

Thanks again, Brekkie.

I personally thought the shapes should be white too - but you didn't seem to like it so I thought I'd leave it to you!

Oh it's because I have the blue box on white for five but then +1 and HD are the white box on blue. I'm kind of confused haha.

Well I don't see the point in participating in such forums if you just say everything looks great.

Hi everyone, got a few new things to showcase:

A new ECP
A few promo screens
A revamped five star logo to match the dog
A "across the brand" preview

*

Taking a totally different design in comparison to the ones I have done before.

*

Instead of having the star come in, like in the last, as the announcer says "whilst over on X" it highlights like so.

*

Incorporating similar aspects from the "tonight" screen is a different look Neighbours promo.

*

Then, say for a show that should be highlighted or is starting soon this sort of thing could be used.

It was said that the five star logo should undergo a change and so I thought instead of complicating it why not use the one used in the dog?

*

as opposed to

*

I have to be honest and say I actually like the second more.

Finally, a preview screen that just explains what is on elsewhere

*


Hope you like these as I have been working a lot on them. I can't wait to preview some of the stuff I have for the sister stations but that'll come soon and hopefully once we have five fully complete.

Please, tell me what you like/what I could improve - constructive criticism welcomed. Thanks for taking time to view my mock.

I'm so sorry you feel like that.

Can you clarify if it is the entire mock or the uploads yesterday and tell me why it's so bad?

You want me to tell you why it's so bad? ...really? ...you cant see for yourself how crap all this is? ...after 17 pages of this thread? ...ARE YOU TROLLING US?

This just reminds me of the 'five' pre-2008 look.

This isn't helpful and I personally wouldn't say this on someone's mock.

If you look over the pages since this version began everybody has said they liked it and that it had improved.

Even in your most recent comment you haven't given any feedback as opposed to it being "crap". Explain why, unlike others, you don't like the improvements that others have noted?

Yes, another member pointed out that the font looks like the one in question. Do you like what I have done?

I'm afraid declan the latest efforts really are a step back - they don't look that good at all. Pretty much everything from the font to the colours to the logos just doesn't seem to work I'm afraid.
