BBC News 24: The Update of Graphics

A year on, im not really happy with the graphics on BBC News 24 so i have made these ones. Sort of american style but i like them. Really when looking at the 1st few, imagine them animated becouse i couldnt!!

Arrow The countdown. This would all animate in, when the time to the top of the hour is at 10 seconds. it would all come in at the same time, and the text would do a wipe effect and would then animate in, while the clock moved down to zero.

Arrow In the final seconds of the countdown (the last 10) the words would all animate off and the numbers will all appear on screen.

Arrow Headlines. This is the start of the headlines. The 1st and main story will have the presenter beside the video playing

Arrow and would then go to this style without the presenter. Sorry for using the same image

Arrow The sidebar. The "BBC NEWS 24" going up the side would slowly crawl up and the globe would animate at the side. My side bar graphic isnt great but would have a better image idea on-screen!

Arrow not too sure on this sidebar, but tell me what you think

Arrow The info-bar aston. Would animate in by the white lines from right to left by flying in.

Arrow The ticker

Arrow The Aston

Arrow The Live graphic. Ignore the white thing beside that, i couldnt get rid of it.

Arrow The breaking news animation. My attempt isnt great! I know!

http://www.rp-networkservices.com/tvforum/uploads/n24n_breakingnews.jpg
Arrow The Breaking News bar on its own.

Arrow The clock on its own. The globe in the background of this would spin, but this isnt the same globe that is on N24 now. Look closley!

All comments welcome, and suggestions!

Well done, but I would like to point out something that lots of news-mockers do....not leave enough text space.

You see it all the time....you need more space sometimes than that provided by the "Greg Dyke resigns...again" kind of space.

At least you haven't made the classic mistake of a limited location graphic space, where the mocker uses the example of "York" or something equally short and it is obvious that nothing longer than 5 letters would fit.

otherwise well done.
