This year I changed jobs and started working on news graphic design for broadcast. Featured are a mix of video walls (montages of images used to visually introduce a news story in the programme), package graphics (which appear "in" a news story) and reveals (facts which pop up on the bigger studio screen in time with a news presenter's script).
In my job we most frequently use screen shots from camera footage for graphics. Here, I chose to showcase the graphics that had my own stamp on them - graphics with assets I drew in Illustrator, or animated stock photos. These were featured on STV News or STV News Tonight and were almost all created on the day; my job is high pressure and I can only spend so much time on each one.
Everything was created in After Effects with assets created in Illustrator, or edited in Photoshop after being downloaded from a stock image site such as Fotolia or SWNS.
A video wall on the increasing prices of ScotRail train tickets. I drew the tickets in Illustrator and used an angled camera and some blur mapping in After Effects to give it depth.
A wall about tourism taxes in Edinburgh. Making the stock images look like pictures or postcards on a table added a bit more to what would otherwise be quite a generic montage.
An illustrated graphic on retinoblastoma, or eye cancer. I had to create a simple diagram that people could understand. The eyeball was drawn in Illustrator.
