Weatherlover's Artwork

I really like how you took the design of the current ldl and changed the colors. NICE! lol. The only thing I could see is in the title bar the bottom of the text hangs off a little, everything else looks great.

Thanks, I shrunk the fonts a tad, so I don't think that will a problem anymore.

Sequence 01.flv

Made in After Effects, a few slides are not completely transitioned over such as day planner, outdoor forecast, metro maps, etc.

11pm Update - I made some more modifications to this emulation, the templates are not as transparent and I added a touch of more blue again to the gradient backgound. Also below is a rough draft of my weather bulletin page.

This thing gets even more impressive every time I see it!

Was kinda bored after working on my essay and got inspired, I always seem to come up with ideas when I'm bored. 

SD Satellite Local Forecast Concept?
There are two versions. As always proper credit goes to Donovan (wxgatlin) for the titlebars he created.

Picking up with an AE project I haven't updated since June this year, It's my WeatherStar Junior Emulation! In this update, I added shadowing to the text, it's also on the test for the date and weather info on the LDL but for some reason it's not showing up as well as the other text so I'll have to do that over again I guess. Also only the Current Conditions screen has been done with the shadowing because sometime over the summer I lost my original AE file of the JR on my flashdrive so I have to do this over from scratch. To see it in action you have to download the video attachment below (Don't worry it's only 632 KB big or 15 secs.) 

SIDE NOTE: I'm still trying to figure out how to do a time ticker, so that's why the time is missing and will be missing in the next update.

The following segments will be completed with the shadowing tomorrow:
Local Forecast (36 Hour)
Extended Forecast (3 Day)
Travel Cities Forecast

HD 4000 Concept: More Modern, Yet Still Old School  Good, Bad, OK, etc? 

[Donovan]

Looks Good. Way better than the original old one. lol

[toxictwister00]

Thank you Donovan. 

I came up with an idea for a different titlebar, what looks better? The Short or Long one?

[Donovan]

I Think the long one is better. Gives more room to add other text if needed. Although i think it should be a little faded/transparent on the right side.

I posted one with 80% and 100% transparency. I also changed the gradient colors direction with the blues starting from the left, the purple in the middle and the oranges moving to the right. You might can even see the waves of one color transitioning to another. 

[Donovan]

Great Job. Looks outstanding. You use photoshop and aftereffects to build these right?

Thank you Donovan.

The short one. It matches the titlebar of the real 4000. You can even put the date and time next to the titlebar like on the real unit.

I like that! A little old school graphic!
