Everything. The logo, the set design, the space used for such a rubbish layout.

Eugh. I feel sick.....

1) You've never been in a studio, let alone a gallery have you? Maybe you shouldn't try to model things you don't have an idea how they would work...

2) You've not given any sort of indication as to what you were trying to do. Mocks, especially these set designs, are pointless without explanation as to what you are trying to achieve.

I did set design as part of one of my A-Levels. If I'd handed in work of this quality, it would have been rejected before marking.

I have an idea... stop spamming the Gallery.

I am sick of seeing mocks on this Gallery that have not been planned or even properly thought through.

A recreation of the original is one thing, but before you design something new you need a brief... Think about this as if you were the Channel or Programme Makers not the designer.

You need to think about what the programme content will be, when and where it will air, who is the target audience... Do some market research into other programmes that are similar. If your programme/channel already exists, take a bit of time to look at what that programme/channel is about.

Once you have a vision for the programme itself, (and if designing for an existing programme/channel) create what you think the brief would be for the graphics/idents/studio, what do you want the designer to design for you.

Only when the brief for the programme/channel are in place can you put on your Designer hat. Interpret the brief and design the LOGO first, once you've got that do the title sequence, on screen graphics, and Last of all, the Set, as the set should fit in with the graphics.

So to recap...
PHASE 1 - Programme Maker's Brief - what is the show/channel, what is your vision for the show/channel, and what elements do you need designing and why.
PHASE 2 - Designer - interpret the Programme Maker's vision for the show/channel. Come up with a few different ideas, and choose the best. Designer should pick music to fit graphics, or get music commissioned.

If you follow this planning process your mocks will have direction... unfortunately if you're a rubbish Graphic Designer, then you're mocks are always going to be poor.

Strive to make your mocks look like those which have 4 or 5/5 and DO NOT post your first attempt, I guarantee it will not be your best.

Its meant to be a Daybreak and Lorraine type show merged into one studio etc, but as separate shows. I don't know about a logo for the Lorraine style show as it could be a show that is mostly associated by a specific person or it could have a range, so no name and logo is ready. I have re did the wall behind the news desk and the couch up to the balcony doors to include pillars and windows. I don't know what to use the very large center space for, maybe special features like Elections etc. Also changing rooms and maybe a catwalk style thing will be added on the wall that goes from the stage to the gallery corridor

Update soon

I hope that an awful lot more than that is changing as well. At the moment it looks like a tacky Benidorm holiday home!

Your timescales.

Work on it for a week, make changes, revert them, make different changes, think about how you'll explain what you've done.

Then think about posting it.

DO NOT make changes in 5 minutes and post them as soon as you can. You're wasting our time, and yours if you want the work to be appreciated.
