To avoid being misconstrued again, I want to declare that I never steal any image and all of the background images (the clouds) on the mock are absolutely taken by myself.

I think you could do with refining it a bit more - maybe a bit more going on in the ticker area. And also - don't make the title fuzzy.

These are very nice, but they need something distinctly 'newsy' about them. There's nothing about the title sequence at the moment that screams to me "this is the news" (apart from the title).

There should also be an appearance of the Sky corporate logo, and the font needs to be standardised. But apart from this, I think these mocks have real potential. 4/5 for effort.

It doesn't even feel like it's a SKY channel, never mind a news one. The fonts and straps are way too generic looking, especially the size of the text makes it feel like a channel of 5 years ago when graphics couldn't be so detailed.

4/5 for effort

2.5/5 for design

It just seems a bit too dated and odd.

Not bad but I doubt Sky would use it.

It would relly improve a channel like russia today though.

I like the general layout, although some could be improved.

On the design and colour front, I don't really like it, especially the Sky News logo/title.

Logo is awful, but I have to say I do like the headline strap.

They're OK, they get progressively better but they seem too blurry. The overall design just isn't that great, the fonts and colours are awful.

I take it you went with the blue and the clouds because it looks like a Sky?

How I long for Sky circa 1999

Could you tell me concrete defects? I'll try to do some improvements in my next mock. Wink

By the way, do you really think the fuzzy font is terrible? I thought it was like the clouds in the sky and looks fit for SKY NEWS.
