Very Very Good!! Very Happy
Reminds me of my holiday in New York, watching The Today Show (I assume thats where you got the idea)

There is one or two things I don't really like, The B&W pics, some colour in them might be nice, and the names of the presenters are too long

Excellent!!!!!!!!! 10/10, I hope you do some more work on GMTV mocks.

This is the kind of concept I would like seen on gmtv next tuesday.

I didn't expect to see anything like that! Is this your first go at some opening titles, or have you been mocking for a while?

I think I'll be crashing the party by saying I prefer the graphics in use at the moment, but that is my honest opinion. Although your offering is good, I don't think it suits a breakfast scene like the current titles do. It needs a bit more jazzing up.

thanks for all of your comments... did't really draw on any particular reference for these though no doubt I had seen certain aspects around before! Might have ago at lorraine's show next if I can get hold of some suitable music! I have posted a coupleof times but not for ages! Iam a graphic designer for print but am teaching myself to do this stuff! I do some mocks from time to time but dont always put them up! LeeS, seen your work before and am very impressed! Would like to know what you think of these!

Its certainly not good enough to be used on TV, but that's not a sign to give up. I use to create things very similar to this when I first started mocking. Sometimes you can tell when someone would be good at something, and whether they'd be good at something else instead. I think you should keep mocking and hopefully you'll begin to naturally know what looks right and what looks wrong.

You might want to try and make your mocks look more polished by spending some extra time on the smaller details.

How did the quality get like that?

excellently done. I quite like that. Nice to see some decent mocks on the forum these days.

It's nice, although it would be good to see what it would be like with the blue and yellow reversed.

Also, I prefer this music to the one which is used there.

Nothing really special about it...

Quite impressive - 8/10 Clearly very "Today" (U.S.)-centric, even if you didn't mean it to be. (Don't worry, that's a good thing!)

Two suggestions, though:

1. There's a lot of popping in the audio; you might want to beef that up.
2. Though I know GMTV is often more tabloid than the BBC, I think the pictures of the celebrities you're using go too far down that road. Instead of Craig David and the cast of Buffy, try making them a bit more relevant and newsworthy. (e.g. Tony Blair, George W. Bush, Prince William, David Beckham, Nicole Kidman, Kylie Minogue, Robbie Williams - BIG NAMES like that that people will definitely want to tune in for!)

Other than that, a job exceedingly well done!

P.S.: This is the first time I've ever felt compelled to comment on a mock, so you must've really impressed me! Very Happy
