I agree. This is my version of the Victorian card. I tried to replicate it to some of the title cards on iview:

I like the concept, but it just looks a bit messy.

Nice work, but the font size is too big for the boxes

what would you suggest to make it less messy?
The biggest tip I could give from my work in motion graphics would be to remember to give your designs space to breathe. Try add some extra padding/blank space between the edges of your graphics (background boxes for example) and the text. Normally that’ll make a dramatic difference and actually draw more attention to what is shown inside it. After all, that’s what the intention is! Hope that helps

What are you actually trying to achieve? What is it wrong with the current ABC News title cards that would benefit from change?
I’m missing the point of your ‘mocks’.

I agree with what @Matt.S says, some spacing would help a lot! Look up ‘negative spacing’.
Also, take a walk over the other side of the room and look at your design from further away. Is it still strong? Or does it maybe loose some identity or meaning behind some of the elements?
I think the lines on the right side of the boxes need to be thicker and more consistent as a start (the white one on the bottom ticker/flipper looked like an error when I first glanced at it).
If I was EP I’d also want more branding than just a small logo in the clock.
All that said, the colours are strong, the layout is interesting and on pointe with broadcast design trends. Just needs a bit further experimentation.

@AK_NEWS You almost forgot the Queenstown/Central Otago ident. And I have to give the logos a bit of a tweak.

Can you give us some idea behind why you made this?
There doesn’t really have to be a point, this forums is called “Random Mocks”. It’s meant to be random.

Yeah, but it’d be nice to see mocks with a bit more quality than simple “put a logo/text on an image” things!
While I’m by no means anywhere near a professional designer, at the same time I try and put a bit of thought into what gets posted in this thread.

I disagree.
My interpretation is that it’s a collection of different ‘mocks’ not related to a particular show or station.
Just like anything people post here, it should have a point and be relevant.
@LLZ just keeps posting pretty much the same thing, doesn’t provide any context, reasons or purpose to any of them.
To be honest, I feel like we’re being trolled most of the time.

Yep - I’ve always interpreted this thread as where to mock something where you’re not creating a full enough suite to justify creating a full thread for.
Like I’d want to be attempting a full ‘package’ to bother posting a new thread - something I’ve certainly not had time for in years.

Everyone has that opportunity to make something awesome for the thread, but just remember: quality OVER quantity.

I would take the 3D out of the News text.
