I apologise if I hurt some feelings, but I wonder if we’ve strayed from the point of mocks here a bit?
I don’t expect posts to be professional or perfect, but it would be nice to see some relevance or basic understanding of graphic design techniques.
Grabbing city scape photos, whacking a logo on it and adding default Calibri text is not design.
Read the well written Guide to Mocking.
Why didn’t you look up ways to turn the logo white? Even in PowerPoint (which I’m assuming you’ve used) there are ways to achieve this. If you want to achieve something, give yourself the opportunity to do so.
Also look up colour matching - White text on a yellowish/orange background doesn’t work. Your red line is also disappearing in a few of them.
I think you could have just done one or two designs of each look, people get the point. You’ve only really changed the backdrop or name plate of the show, and there’s not really a design difference between them.
This is just bad, I know you’re admitting it, but it’s bad. It’s illegible, spaced badly, terribly formatted…
It’s like something from the early 90s. I also don’t understand why this needs a picture of the city behind it? It’s been a long time since local lineups were branded in such a fashion. Why did you feel the need to share it? How does it contribute to the conversation here?
I would recommend both of you to give yourselves a short-term ban on copying elements from anywhere - make something that is completely your own, and if you don’t know how to do something, research it and work it out. Only share things that are going to contribute to the conversation.
