Weather Channel Updating graphics again?
« on: July 07, 2010, 10:21:17 PM »
I remember watching the weather channel 2 days ago and they did a forecast for Hawaii and the graphics look way different then the current graphics with the radar maps and animation. What could happen in the next month or a few weeks? :hmm:

I definitely saw the Hawaii map. To be honest, I like it a lot more. The design is much cleaner...with the basemap in a box and the data in small boxes to the right. Very to-the-point...I have had similar ideas in previous weather map projects.

Does anyone have a screenshot of this? :dunno: Honestly, it seems like TWC has a lot of different sets of graphics. Maybe the basemaps are the same, but city names and layouts change from graphic to graphic.

And I doubt TWC would be updating their graphics again after doing so only about four months ago. But I'm not sure. :thinking:

If you could provide the approximate time I can see if I can look it up

Nothing new. TWC used countless banners for their maps from around late 2006 until the HD relaunch.
