Five News website re-design

I had a go at re-designing the Five News website (www.five.tv/news) as it looks a bit bland, and, it isn't in the new widescreen look (like the Sky News/BBC News website).

Yes, I made them on PowerPoint. It's just a design though - not a proper website.

What do you think of the homepage?

I am sorry to say this, I don't like it, it's hideous.

Well I liked it. The idea is good it could just do with a few tweeks such as different font colour and so on but over all much better than the current.

The current version is better.

I'd suggest you learn a bit about website design. It's not too difficult to mock up an actual page which you can browse to and see what it would be like in an actual browser rather than giving excuses like "it'll be more in proportion".

Finally, do you really think Five want such lurid vivid colours to brand their news? It's not BBC2.

No.

the font sizes are all wrong, the line heights are wrong, the colours need tweaking, needs work!

Why? If you can't take the criticism don't post mocks. They should be there for people to pass judgment.

If not then you are wasting SQL Space.

I agree...


...though no need to be weird.

You realise, Scott, that you now look far worse than if you'd left it up?

I removed them because I deleted the flickr/Yahoo! account they were on so they wouldn't have appeared anyway!

well re-upload them, or I will nuke Bristol.
