Michael's TWC Fan Art Portfolio

[texasstooge]

Same IS HD concepts, except the only changes are the local crawl and the 2006-2010 icons.

DISCLAIMER: All known materials are property of The Weather Channel and TWC Interactive. The LDL is courtesy of Weatherlover/SnowManiac. All weather data is actual as of Friday 06/11/2010 at 1:00PM CT. Cable alert notice is phony, although Style and Oxygen are in fact removed from the standard cable lineup. I wish they took the Golf Channel and MTV off the analog lineup instead of truTV and ABC Family.

Another one with a "TORNADO WARNING" scroll.

I went and updated the Weather Bulletins template with a Tornado Watch scroll and a new background picture, which I took recently of storm clouds looming over the Las Colinas sky-scrapers.

OK, so I've entered Boredom City.

These are the same CC slides as in the earlier posts, except it utilizes the city information I gathered from Charter Communications' IS #23484 while at a friend's apt. there last week.

I went and created what the IS HD would look like with the current weather.com web icons. This time I'm entering information from IS #22103.

Yes, I do use PowerPoint. This was something I slapped together with no animation as of yet. I did create an L-Bar (2006-2009) emulator on PowerPoint though.
