Michael's TWC Fan Art Portfolio

[texasstooge]

This is where I put most of the TWC Fan Art/emulations from now on...except for weather icons (see my seperate topic).
___________________________________________________________________________

Anyways, here's my attempt at the "Travel Troubles" segment, utilizing one of the Weather Underground photos, Billy's LDL Warning Bar and Tyler's modified "Strong T-Storm" Icon.



Let me know what you think.

Very nice!

A local TV station in Dallas/Fort Worth had the idea of using weather icons that show "Warning" or "Watch" on them on the right top of the screen. Unfortunately it didn't work so well due to the fact that the affected counties are only scrolled on the bottom of the screen at 30 minute intervals. But why not resurrect them...my way? After gaining access to the entire NWS Icons set, I've decided to resurrect that idea of having icons that have "Warning", "Watch", or "Advisory" on them with the counties listed on the side.

Another idea that popped in my head is that what if we have the current TWC logo change to the said icons and back to the logo every 5 seconds when an alert is in effect for your area? That's gonna come in my art portfolio in a few days.

DISCLAMER: All icons are original property of The National Weather Service. However, some of the modified icons are property of its creator Michael Raymond. They can be used freely, however, it is asked that you do not redistribute them. Thanks for your cooperation.

I'll start off with the Warnings and Watches.

Nice Work!

Remember the Idea that popped in my head about the TWC logo transitioning to the warning icon(s) every few seconds while the LDL scrolls the bulletins? Well, just today, it's put on Photoshop.

Fantastic Mike

For the past 2 months, I've created my attempt of the TWC L-Bar on Microsoft PowerPoint. And it seems that one attempt leads to another idea that popped in my head.

What if one main TV station in each market area carry the TWC L-Bar? Although KTVT CBS 11 is in partnership with TWC, I just thought I'd make it so that WFAA ABC 8 and TWC teamed up.

Summary: Both versions show the "ABC World News Now" and the current "TWC" logos, and run the same conditions, forecasts, and traffic reports, except Version 2's uses the current icons and they don't have the fading transition (on purpose). To those who have Microsoft PowerPoint, click on and of the following links:

 - Version 1
 - Version 2

Any comments and suggestions are welcome.

Last summer, an idea just popped in my head: What if all Colleges/Universities show the Satellite TWC and carry all IntelliStars modified to show the Blackbar for colleges in cities within the district?

The Dallas County Community College District serves Addison, Carrollton, Dallas, Farmers Branch, Garland, Irving, Lancaster, Mesquite, and Richardson. The Blackbars also show Airport Delays and Sunset/Sunrise info.

All blackbar emulators run on PowerPoint, and the Blackbar is courtesy of Billy Miller.

This emulator simulates the 02/24/2007 Dust storm (This is my attempt at a warning scroll in the end)
 - Version 1
 - Version 2

This emulator simulates a random Summer Day in 2007.

Here's what I think the 3-Day forecasts should look like.

Not bad! Though, I'd make the day titles a tad larger.
