Something a little bit different

Can't say i've been working on these for masses amounts of times, they've been born out of previous past and failed attempts. They are for a 'Sky Business' channel.

I wanted to create something which stands in contrast to CNBC and Bloomberg, which means limited on screen graphics in the hope that this gives greater precedence to content of the program. In retrospect I think I've taken my own initial concept too far, and I think I might go and add a ticker in for the heck or it after posting here to see how it looks.

Anyway I've created the 'Sky Bug' - or 'SKY BUsiness Grid' which sits in the right hand corner. It can display, as you'll see, market data and very brief story headlines.

I've attempted to emulate the trends and styles of sky news, including showing more vt, less graphics, a plastic wrapper effect (although it hasn't IMO come out that well) and certain CNNI influences in the straps. But I wanted to move away from the overtly tabloid look of sky news to something deeper and more opulent. I thought blue (a traditional news-ey colour) and yellow (money, money, money) would suffice, although maybe it looks too ITV for your tastes??

Here are the images, constructive crit as ever, these are a work in progress.

A market graphic.

Shows the market data in the BUG. The straps would change to indicate red for loss, green for gain and remain blue for unchanged.

Big images and small graphics. As in, too small, I think.

Quite nice though, apart from the background which just reminds me of sand.

These are good, but there is too much wasted space around the graphics. Maybe make the graphics slightly bigger. Smile

Change the background. Business people aren't colourblind. The rest is worth keeping.

Indeed; it's one of the qualifications of getting the job.

It's all a bit too bright and cheerful for my liking, although I do like the straps.

All that wasted space, especially at the sides. Having a 4:3 safe area doesn't mean that you shouldn't put anything in it, just nothing important

Everything is far too small
