Here's an idea of some minimalistic Sky News graphics, inspired by the former ones on TG24. Very rough, but an idea...


I like this!

Although in reality, it would require some reworking of certain sets where we hide microphones and various detritus under the ticker, though.

Sorry to be a pain but I've uploaded something to Metropol and can't seem to get it to link to TVF. Can someone help me?

Click on the + and you should see something like this in a pop-up on the right:

{url=https://up.metropol247.co.uk/Neil%20Jones/bbc190520.jpg}{img}https://up.metropol247.co.uk/Neil%20Jones/thumbs/bbc190520.jpg{/img}{/url}

(note: You will have square brackets, not curly brackets, I've used curly brackets to stop the forum showing this image)

Just copy and paste the entry into a new post.

I suppose I might as well add my ideas to the mix. This is an idea that was inspired by the intro to Deadline on DR2, and would be intended for an LBC News style channel where people would be tuning in for a summary of no more than 30 minutes.




If people like them, then I might develop the idea further and split it off into a separate thread.

Like it, BBI45. Reminds me of the CNN 2006 look which was brilliantly minimalist.

I'd love to see you develop the idea further if you have the time.

There is a difference between ‘minimalist’ and just throwing some random off brand text onto the screen. The styling of the text is horrible but even if you used the current ITV branding you’d more or less be creating something that already exists in the opening of the ITV News titles and it’s not really what the OP is asking for.

They’re asking for tidier news channel looks, so you’d be expected to use either a current logo or something that could be a current logo, a clock and maybe a ticker and an example of a lower third. Not just the name of a programme on the screen.

This is what the OP means, that just looks like a hastily typed up text. Even when the graphics are minimal there needs to be a concept/smart animation.

Just out of interest, did you make this in Photoshop or Illustrator?
