Might I add that having this software or that software doesn't necessarily make for well-designed mocks. A thorough understanding of type, layout, colour and the technical details necessary for television go a long way to help. A little common sense doesn't hurt either.

The other thing that is so rarely used these days -- time. Spend plenty of time on your work. If you spend 20 minutes on something, it will show. Just saying "oh, I only spent a few minutes on this, I know it's not very good" doesn't help.

That's not to say you shouldn't try -- you should. But try to post your best work. Ask yourself: "Would I like seeing this on TV? Or would I just slag it off as 'poor!' in another forum?"
