An interesting choice for the name of this topic, BBCNEWS24. Prophetic, perhaps?

I'll be brutally honest. It's for your own good.

The image you've posted is barely a mock. Firstly, it's an off-the-air grab of an old breakfiller. Secondly, it says
"NEWS HEADLINES" at the top. Thirdly, the text that you've carefully and lovingly dropped on the page is too large (not to mention aliased).

Surely you meant to accomplish something with this ... what was it?

Right then. I can honestly say it is one of the worst mocks I have ever seen. I mean no malice by this - if you want to do some more, I could give some constructive criticism.

1) You have used a BBC World Breakfiller and simply put the text on it. (I presume it's from Pablo's site?) Why? The best thing would be to have started from scratch and made your own template.

2) The text is WAY too big! Have a look on WORLDwatch to see the text in normal size and compare to the size of yours.

3) Although the idea of a mock is to 'copy' something, I think it would have been better if you had done omething new and not decided to just copy the original (badly - sorry!)

Overall, not good but if you put your own ideas in and not copy theirs it might have been good. Maybe try again?

Sorry if it sounds harsh but it is really, really bad.

That is absolutely pants. All you have done is added some blocky text onto a screen grabbed image. If you want to copy an image, give it some "flair", such as my BBC World one, taken from a wallpaper.

I never knew the text tool in paint could be put to such a great use.

I don't actually see the point. It would be appreciated if you at least put a little effort into it. Maybe some originality thrown in there? Oh, and then to top it off, some accuracy.

Where did you get the wallpaper from? Can you tell me where to get it. It looks nice
