I came up with a concept of new look BBC News, ditching the red and incorporating the new Reith typefaces.
Some may not like the mix of Serif/Sans and I know it's often considered a design no-no to combine the two, but I think that's the way they'll end up going when BBC News finally changes.
To minimise the messiness of using both styles together I decided to make Serif the font for the "furniture" text and go for Sans where the text changes more frequently.
I'm also so bored of the colour red for BBC News and always did prefer the blue of the 90s. It's more authoritative (although I appreciate that's not the look they're going for in this day and age)
If anyone thinks there is potential in this concept I might work on some titles and other graphics. Maybe even a studio set. If not then, well, I won't.
