TWC Fan Art / Re: The HD Star Like You've Never Seen Before!

« on: November 24, 2007, 04:56:34 PM »

Alright, I've tweaked a few things... the CC data is all on one page; I've changed the LDL data slightly, so each piece of data displays somewhat quicker, and exits quicker; added a few things to the "sidebar," etc. And yes, I know, the "Conditions Nearby" page was intentionally left blank. I'm still cranking out a design for that one.

Enjoy!

Local Forecast / Re: Weather Channel CD

« on: November 23, 2007, 11:22:15 PM »

I was watching my local Fox affiliates 10:00 news tonight and they had a story about the TWC CD! Unfortunately though they didn't make any comment about sites like this and TWCC. I bet they would've though if they knew that there was one that is run and operated locally.  

I would immediately email them and see if they'd do a follow-up interview with you, Gary, and inform them about TWCT and TWCC.

That would certainly be a great way to get the word out about our sites, wouldn't it? 

So be like Nike, and do it!

Programming and Graphics / Re: Weather Channel HD

« on: November 23, 2007, 11:17:41 PM »

What is the deal?  I have HD, but the screen isn't stretched on TWC HD....has it officially started or is it just on the WOT8's?

True HD has not started yet, except on their recorded programming. But live studio programming is only being upconverted. I think thats the term. 

Yes, upconverted is the term. True HD for live programming won't start 'til mid-'08 IIRC.

Well, you all have seen my recent HD Star design, but one goes WAY beyond that. I'm even animating it in After Effects. Now, it's in it's infant stages, but I want to share it with you to get some feedback. What do you think... of the title banner; the LDL; the sidebar; animations; etc? Let me know. Thanks, and enjoy!

Trust me Tyler, I was every bit as confused as you were! 

Just so long I wasn't the only one.

Man, I thought I was confused before. Well, now I'm doubly confused. 

Gary, anyway we can clean up this topic and delete the posts not related to my icons? Thanks. 

Thread cleaned.

Much appreciated.

As seen below, I've been working on the Am/Pm tags. I need to make final touchups before I release them, though.

I hope you posted the same warning on your forum. Otherwise your putting my forum in a bit of a bad light. 

The icons are very nice though.  :sunglasses:

Yes, Gary, in fact I was more blunt about it there.
