Williams Up Front

A current affairs programme on Sky TV with Larry Williams hosting.


I decided on a highly graphic 'web' style look for this title sequence. The programme is a serious current affairs one with political heavyweights, guests from business and occasionally from entertainment.



The theme uses a font which I've modified to give a newsprint/blockprint type of look. These and other graphical elements form a wire-like structure on two planes that dissect each other at 90 degrees.

This structure slowly rotates about the vertical axis where the planes meet. As it moves, elements flash in across the two planes at right angles to one another. The b&w stills flash up the central axis from the bottom.




I chose to use small, black & white stills of the guests and host to give a hard newsprint look for the live content. These can be changed out to be replaced with more recent guests.



The final resolved title. Again I used a print style font and design for the logo reminiscient of print blocks in typesetting.
