The Gallery Design Challenge 3

Is there any date it needs to be submitted by? or just the end of the month?

It'll stay open at least till the end of the month, then assuming there isn't a number of new posts after I'll close it to decide a winner.

Can the design be for international channels, or for UK channels solely?

The challenge is to change the way we see TV pres, or invent a totally new form of it, the channel you use as a basis is entirely up to you!

Would it be a good idea to change the link on the homepage to reflect this challenge, and not the previous one?

Can I just ask why my ' And the winner is ' thread has been deleted? I thought it was nice to be able to flick through the old entries and the original 'winner' thread still remains so why was mine deleted?

Sorry about that James, I meant to unsticky it, didn't realize I'd deleted, it's back now though.

Haha, its fine.

I am extremely interested to see what people can come up with for this as i can't help feeling that TV presentation as it is, is as it is for a reason because it is tried and tested! I eagerly look forward to seeing the entries and to be proved wrong, and may even have a go myself

I know throughout the years we've had an overload of BBC News mocks, but I'd be very curious to see some quality, serious impressions of what forumers on here would like/expect to see from BBC News' next refresh, whenever that will be. Perhaps an idea for a challenge, because I'm sure others would like to see it from the best of the forum's graphic designers.

So have you set the bar a little too high Bail - it's a great idea, but not sure anyone knows where to start. Perhaps making it more specific would be an idea?


A concept here rather than an actual mock, and nothing that we haven't seen before around the world, but I think with ECPs now the norm it is time the UK adopted a more US style credit sequence, with a short actual close with Executive Producer credits before the full credits follow, along with a promo. That would stop announcers and promos crashing in immediately as the credit roles before you have a chance to take in the last scene - just those few seconds away from the action would make the ECPs less intrusive.

Yep, I've always wondered why no UK channel has attempted to adopt the US "accelerated flow" concept - trailers over credits, and then straight on to an ident and in to the next programme. US networks use it as it keeps viewers rather than losing them in a commercial break.
