Sky News Graphics - The Second Coming

Well, here are some lovely Sky News graphics that I have just knocked up. Based mainly on the ones I created before but are slightly different - and show Sky News in widescreen. (which they should do ASAP!!)

Be brutal...constructive criticism and all.

There are a few images, so please allow time to load.

Finally, the good old top stories aston

The graphics all line up like the current set - but they just have a bit of much needed tweaking on them.

James, they are great, soooooooooooo much better than current! I've been working on some too, I might upload them when I can be bothered.

Well done! And (as I mentioned in the chat) kudos for respecting the title-safe areas. Experiment with some other colours to see if you can't get a richer texture on some of those astons. Just a suggestion!

Very nice James! Very professional!

these are a set i made a while back

May as well take this opportunity to post the set i've been developing over the past few months.

When a story breaks before a headline is attached it will be simply a "Sky News Flash"

And when a headline is attached it will change thus...
http://www.mromega.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk/skynews_breaking2.jpg

and when it has been going on for a while, it will change to an "Ongoing story"

Very nice.

Oh well, I might as well post mine, seeing as James said he doesn't mind!

I think you'll agree, they're definitely something.

Very nice Phill. Isn't it amazing that people with just a desktop PC can design better stuff than so-called professionals with hugely expensive equipment

It sounds to me as if we're trying to encourage some (to put it politely) un-str8 females to the forum.

Wow, that Homer Simpson one makes a great wallpaper!

Nice one! http://www.tvforum.co.uk/ibf/style_images/1/PostIcons/icon14.gif

Very good by all.

I'd say Phil's are the best of the selection if I have to be choosy. It abandons the majority of the current look for something that is smart and adaptable. And it gets rid of that damn red blob!

I wish someone at Sky News would look at this forum sometimes.
