The 'LIVE' and 'Daybreak Exclusive' strap is an oddity. It's out of the 16:9 (title) safe area, and in the 4:3 (title) area. I don't like it's placement at all. Also, the placing of the 'Coming up' strap is also an odd one. It's in a seemingly random place halfway up the screen during Daybreak, and then closer to the bottom during Lorraine? Also, I don't think the yellow bar is needed for the 'LIVE' strap, and so on - I don't think it's needed there, and you could use another animation, instead of the same old wipe.

It's improved, yet the ticker and clock are still dull shades of grey, and your graphics are in some odd places.


Sorry Critique, I was told that the 16:9 title area is the haul grey bit, is that right of is it the stuff inside the red lines?

The Coming up strap is in different place' because the ticker wouldn't be used during Lorraine!


Inside the red area is the 16:9 (title) safe area. The 'LIVE' strap actually isn't in the 4:3 (title) safe area, either.

You've misinterpreted the safe area guide...


Title Safe is where you place the essential elements of the graphics to avoid it chopping off on badly overscanned TVs, I.e. Text, Logos, DOGs. (The red border represents the widescreen Title Safe Area). Action Safe is the 'overlap' area where non-essential part of the graphics are placed.

It's worth saying that the OP is now Banned, so there won't be any updates to this mock.
