Here's some mocks I created back in July, but never got round to posting here. They're a brand new look for Sky Guide and Sky Active. If you like some, I'll make some more, but it all depends on what you think.

Having never used SkyGuide before, I'm not sure which Aspect Ratio they use, so I've just made all of them in 4:3.

The images in the background would fade out every so often, to be replaced with different ones. All Sky related.

Now for SkyActive. As I've not used SkyActive before, don't blame me if I get everything wrong.

Finally, an example of what a new look SkyChannel could look like. It's basically a rolling information channel, with static captions that constantly change. These are the mocks I'm least proud of. :p

And that's it for now. Any more, just AAsk .

I just remembered why I didn't actually post these before, I never got round to finishing them. Conciquently, there's no way to go back in any of them, and the TV Guide also has a menu at the top with no guide to how it works. Sorry.

So, commént?

Apart from an OTT use of the sky brands typeface in the Sky Guide mocks, these are bright, fresh and original

I know I use it a lot in the first lot of mocks, but I thought it looked quite nice and decided to keep it. I tried Arial, but it didn't look as good.

Poor use of a Sky News image. Writing on top of other writing?

Also this image won't show: http://www.sevenk.net/sky/epg.jpg

And it's browse , not brose.
