Here's a good idea (which is very similar to one on mdta's website, but never mind). Let's have a 'design your own news channel' competition, seeing as we're all so interested in news presentation. Come on, you're all quick to criticise the presentation of existing ones, so let's see what we can all come up with.

Use whatever packages you want, even flash if you must, and design whichever bits of a channel you want, preferably a completely made-up channel.

Who's up for it then?

lol, very good point Phil.

As you know I have been doing the Sky graphics.

Here is my latest Live at Five development.

BTW, sorry about the text on the aston, It was the only text I could find from a previous aston and it fitted well.

Oh and I thought that the studio needed a wee change too.

Apologies for the poor quality, that was caused by me resizing it from 800x600, in MS Photo Editor.

Great stuff!

Come on then everyone, here's your inspiration so get creating! I'll get onto some as well, and we'll have to get someone to judge. Maybe Asa could, seeing as it's his forum?

I'm planning on creating my own news channel this summer, but I don't have any good software. What does everyone use, Photoshop? It's just so d*amn expensive!

Oh, and how do you all 'paste' the pics in the thread posts?

I have saved myself literally £1000s of pounds by downloading stuff such as Paintshop pro and getting the crack from:

Leading on from Billy's post with the Six O' Clock News from 1988, I downloaded the theme from Isonstine TV, and inserted my voiceover into it, which makes it sound a little bit more realistic, even if I sound weird Smile

Anyway, download the clip:

Simple.
First,find a picture from a website,eg TV Ark,TV50,or MHP.Right click on the picture and select 'Properties'
The URL of the picture will come up.
Type in here [ img ] Without the spaces,then type the URL,then type [ /img ] again,without the spaces.
eg:

[ img ]http://www.tv50.uk.com/stills/central/central-82.jpg[ /img ]

Without the spaces, this will appear:

http://www.tv50.uk.com/stills/central/central-82.jpg

Hope you understand Smile
