Users using pointless emphasised titles

Even more pointless users posting pointless posts

I don't see how I'm a "pointless" user. I have posted my opinions on branding, television and news presentation and media websites for the past 5 years.

But at least there aren't pointless users posting pointless posts so pointless post users can post pointless post post-user posts. Posts.

Apologies for not using a comma, should have said even more pointless, users posting pointless posts.
That's nice for you

I wonder if they are trying out a new style of design or is this a one off?

Don't know what to make of it tbh

I love the full screen background (even though it ends suddenly if you scroll down)
I love the fact the page is centred
I love the fact they haven't got the show title twice like a lot of pages seem to have

I hate the fact they have somehow managed to use the wrong ITV1 logo which hasn't been used since 2006
I hate the pale blue boxes round the ITV1 and the ITV Player logo

Its hard to say much more really until they add a lot more to the website, but if this is what is to come with more new pages then I like it.

It does look more fresher and more crisp, It follows the ITV 2 Shows style with the links to content from shows above a box with a video in I guess. I hope it is more consistent in the sense that on many pages the menu's they are using now are either centre aligned or to the left.

Dare I say ITV are getting the hang of parts of their site

The brand new Daybreak and Lorraine websites are now online, the design looks very nice, and they have even kept the weather page that they had on gm.tv which to me is far more informative than the national ITV weather website. The sub menus have a nice scrolling feature to! And it's centre aligned

I know you like the This Morning site - so I'm not sure you'll be to pleased about this:

If its as good as this one I will be happy
And some other updated site is the rugby one, not much on there yet but its nice.
The only sport section that needs a revamped are BTCC and British Superbikes

And I would imagine that this is a new thing they are introducing, the menu style on the new Daybreak/Lorraine and 71 Degrees North sites look very similar and on the Lorraine website and the 71 Degrees page the scroll image box thing is the same.

I really like the new Daybreak website - the static background particularly.
