Good Morning Britain: Election 2015

You make out like this is specific to your mock, go and look at any item on the gallery. On a bad mock comments will be full of sarcastic criticism where the actual feedback is implied - you have to read between the lines. This is often because a bad mock is almost instantly a bad mock. A good mock also suffers a similar fate with very little criticism or feedback, just people saying how good it is. And about 1 in 10 mocks goes uncommented on. Most of my set recreations include a comment from cnnfan1230 asking if I can give him all my sketchup files, you're going to get odd comments.

If you want feedback on the mock - from what I can see you've just basically moved the graphics around (plus you've not used the ITV party colours from the general election). The party colours in you ticker differ from the ones on the seat declaration graphic. The design itself looks like it didn't take long, with the animation not taking very long either. Also the declaration graphic includes the %Vote of the largest party, presumably, but doesn't make that clear - to a casual observer it could indicate change in vote or swing.

Also on the content of the graphics (I'm an election geek/psephology student) - the Greens didn't hold Brighton they held Brighton Pavilion - there are two Brighton seats, the viewers in Brighton Kemptown may be a little surprised if the woke up with a new Green MP.

This is TVForum, you'll need to get used to it.

It doesn't have the wow factor. Its sort of like "Yeah yeah, looks nice" because all you've really done is create a few new boxes and re-positioned some others, which doesn't really convey effort to us.

There aren't any real differences though. You've added a thing containing all the declared seats, which doesn't seem very practical as by 6am lots of constituencies had declared, instead of the 'not very many' you stated - I can't find the exact figure but before the election it was predicted that 575 seats would have declared before 6am. Other than that, you've just moved around a few elements, and it's otherwise the same as the graphics actually used.

And as for it taking a while to complete, really? I recreated your graphics in just over five minutes (I had to think of things to type!), and there is no complicated animation in your video, so I can't see how this took you a long time.

I wasn't trying to say that this issue is specific to my mock, it's a general issue, I simply used my mock as an example. It goes for everyone. I have gotten used to how TV Forum operates, it just that this thread sticks out. On my others (no matter how bad they are) there is at least 60% useful comments. This time however, only around 10% of the comments are useful feedback.

What I will never understand is the desire to be rude and nasty on purpose. Sure, it might be a bad mock, but that doesn't create an excuse for it. That concept will continue to baffle me.

All criticism of mocking the past are a bit wrong. Recreating any era of identification and/or graphics are welcome on TV Forum.
As for the mock, I think it's decent. 3/5

I'd rather people mocked programmes from the past than invented their own programmes so yes i dont have a problem with this.

The mock itself is just terrible and seeing how the member who posted it shows absolutely no signs of taking advice or criticism on board i'm not going to give any. - 1/5

Now that comment above is exactly what is wrong with this forum. SomeRandomStuff can only hand out insults, as well as compliments to the members he likes. No useful feedback given in either case.

There is a difference from recreating from a month ago to a decade ago though.

This mock is fundementally pointless - it just moves a couple of elements due to the posters personal taste (completely ignoring the continuity with ITV News which presumably was intended), but more than anything it suffers from being the latest of many many many Good Morning Britain mocks being posted here. Most people here aren't even interested in seeing the actual programme,which actually has decent enough graphics anyway.

And once again, you've failed to understand why you're not getting any constructive criticism for your 'mock'. All you've done is take a set of graphics and simply move the elements around, in turn making it look worse than the original. It's far and away from an "improvement" as you indicated in the topic title.

Maybe if you came up with something fresh and original you'd get the advice and criticism you so keenly desire. But your token efforts and poor attitude make it very hard to properly judge what you've presented.

Do you know BBCNicky, I also indicated that this was a recreation as well. I described it as a recreation/improvement. Additionally, you have provided no feedback, just a sweeping generalisation.

Also, I have provided fresh ideas, one of those being Weekend (which has been mocked just once before), but have you commented on that? No. Try actually looking at my other projects before making another generalisation and another criticism with no evidence to back it. I don't have a poor attitude, quite the opposite in fact. Standing up against inexcusable behaviour that would get you banned elsewhere is not a sign of a poor attitude. In fact, it is quite the opposite.

It's almost laughable; because would you really make any of these comments if you weren't looking at a screen? I doubt it to be honest.

I've posted it before but I'll do it again as you clearly didn't read it: you've just moved a few things around. There's almost nothing to judge. As a recreation, it's nothing special - hell, even Critique did it better than you. Try starting again from scratch with something original and you'll get your blessed feedback. Meanwhile, I've added my comments to your "Weekend" stuff, seeing as you asked me so kindly.

I get the feeling you think you're a better mocker than you actually are.

Now THIS is a mock.

How can he have done it better when it was the same?

I've tried various different ideas for GMB, all of which were shot down. That was wrong, now going back to the basics is wrong. I just cannot win.

I really don't. My work isn't fantastic and I haven't been doing it long, but I try my absolute best with everything. It's my general work ethic to do everything to the best of my abilities. This means that I get extremely annoyed when people say it took five minutes, because it clearly didn't. Sure, you might be able to do it in 5 minutes, but I certainly cannot. Also, you may not like my work, but do not insult me. Bad work is not an excuse for bad manners and rudeness. It is just totally inexcusable.
