Big Brother: Timebomb - Graphics tweaks.

[zakman440]

So I had a go at tweaking some of the graphics of Timebomb to see how they could be improved (and in some cases, making new ones). They're mostly minor changes. Please note that this is the first time that I've attempted anything like this and I've been working on it for the past two days.

Day, time and hashtag:

Name astons:

(These would permanently contain the hashtags and Twitter handles)

Name astons with voting details:

(Only nominated housemates will have their voting details in their aston).

Tweet strap (this would be on-screen at various points throughout both highlight and eviction shows):

Any feedback would be very much appreciated!

The voting and credit straps are amazing, that font is perfect :love: I also love the voting close countdown, and I actually wish they would bring it back

Not keen on the name tags though I'm afraid, I barely notice their inclusion anymore but I still dislike the fact they exist, and placing them on a background would only make me notice them more. I'm also totally opposed to the idea of having Twitter handles and voting numbers included on them, moreso the former. If that ever happened I would seriously be done. It's an innovative idea, don't get me wrong, but it's just not for me :p

I do like the idea behind tweets being shown though, but I would prefer them either during live feed (if we had it 24/7) like the old text/red button comment banners used to be, or just before they cut to a break during Emma's links, a bit like what BBUS do on eviction shows.

Good work overall! :D

Love the countdown and on-screen tweets :love:

Not too keen on the housemate's hashtags but they worked well with the text numbers

I like the onscreen tweets the most but I feel the nametags are too clunky and disruptive.

Outstanding, but who is Eieen?

None of the pictures show for me :conf2:

I'm still wondering what that font is...

Sorry for the late response, was working on the eviction sequence which you can see here (http://www.thisisbigbrother.com/forums/showthread.php?p=7982285).

Thanks! I really want the voting countdown brought back as well, I literally can't stand the giant 'VOTING NOW CLOSED' graphic that they have on-screen.

Yeah, I can understand that. Not a problem :)

That's also a good idea, especially during live feed. Thank's for the feedback!

Again, that's fine. I myself would prefer that they get rid of them in general, but as they're not going anywhere any time soon I thought I'd give them more of a use. Thank's for the feedback! :spin:

Eileen's vampire alter-ego?

None of the pictures show for me :conf2:

Erm... not really a lot I can do about that I'm afraid.

I'm still wondering what that font is...

It's called Nexa (it's also the current Channel 5 font).

Thank's to all who have given feedback so far!
