With the launch of Seven National News at Noon by Australia’s Seven Network earlier this year, what if Seven News reverted to its old name, Seven National News, after more than three decades?

So guys, are you still ‘on the fence’ about my plan to inject a new dynamic into the Mock Designs forums?

@greenpea

I’ve got an exciting idea to breathe new life into our Mock Design section! How about we introduce a monthly prompt-based contest, where members can showcase their creativity and skills? Here’s how it could work:

1. Monthly Challenge:

• We have a designated prompt for each month that members can use as inspiration for their mock designs. The prompts may draw inspiration from a wide spectrum of themes, ranging from a relaunch or rebranding initiative to the introduction of a fresh on-air package, and even the revival of a specific format. Crucially, these prompts must be intricately connected to real-life events within the dynamic landscape of the media industry

2. Judging by Peers:

• Fellow members get to be the judges! This not only fosters a sense of community but also provides diverse perspectives on design.

3. Prompt Setters:

• To keep things fresh, we could have a different member set the prompt each month. However, there’s a catch - the member who sets the prompt cannot participate in that specific challenge. This ensures fairness and avoids any bias.

4. Honoring the Winner:

• The winner of each monthly challenge earns the honor of setting the next month’s prompt. This not only recognizes their talent but also keeps the challenges member-driven.

I believe this could inject some friendly competition, encourage participation, and bring a new sense of excitement to our Mock Design section. What do you all think? Let’s brainstorm and make our design community even more vibrant!

Looking forward to your thoughts and suggestions!
