I did my final tweakings of the WS4000 BETA concept. The font on the "Current Conditions" slide is changed to "STAR 4 Extended" and I corrected the time/date placing error on the "Regional Conditions" map.

________________________________________________________________

And just for the pure fun of it, I decided to do a recreation of the WS4000 delay start in progress on PowerPoint. As we know when the WS4000 was still active in some areas, the WS4000 is kicked in progress after 40 to 50 seconds of showing the national forecast. My version of the Satellite feed utilizes the Satellite Background template I've recently created.

That's precisely what the purpose of my satellite background was going to be for. What a coincidence.. :lol:

Just this week, I've done another addition to the WS4000 BETA concept: a "Weather Bulletins" slide.

http://rapidshare.com/files/166172320/WS_4000_BETA_Weather_Bulletins.ppt.html

Keep in mind that all weather data is simulated...except for the regional forecast for Saturday, the 36 Hour Forecast, and the Extended Forecast (as of 11:00PM CST Friday 11/21/2008).

To those who prefer the black text instead of the blue text on my version of the Satellite TWC template, here it is.

I did my revisions of my IS Blackbar emulator by adding the 24-hour forecast...and did version 3 with the web friendly icons.

There will be more to come.

Now that another DCCCD college campus has opened in Coppell, I went and updated the emulators with the current and web-friendly icons to include Coppell. Another tweaking I did was to make it a similar format to DirecTV and Dish Network's LDL prior to June 2008.

What follows is my attempt at the October 2007 revamp of the Satellite Feed banners as requested on TWC Classics. The last 3 almost looks the same as the previous set, but this uses the current radar banner on the IntelliStar.

3-Day Forecast:


3-Day w/Black Text


Severe Weather Alerts:


Thunderstorm Forecast:


Radar/Satellite:


The 4-Day one (another request) will be coming later this week.

Earlier, I've created the Current Conditions LDL using the 1998-2006 Freezing Fog icon (modified by Al), the old LDL (by Billy), and the Interstate font (provided by Martin). I never saw the "Freezing Fog" icon before, so I just went ahead and pasted it on my LDL creation.

Good LDL. A few problems about the size of LDL elements (the top bar - everything is too long), though.
