Insight on creating a news graphic

[claxius]

I was wondering if someone can offer some insight on how to make a "Breaking News" graphic for a fake news broadcast.

You don't necessarily have to offer a step by step on how to do it but if you could tell me how difficult it is and how I might go about it.

thanx

well.. this is kinda broad... are you looking for somthing like the "Fox News Alert"....

If you have Zaxwerk Invigorator,...that would make things a lot easier, but I would need a little more detail than this.

I second the Invigorator.

Search the cow's forums for this sort of thing. They most likely have some tutorials.

What's news station obsession with 3D text? I don't get it...

Their obesession, is BLAM in your face flying at you titles that the OLD people can even see scare the hell out of them. Its crazy. I work as a motion designer at a news station and ugh some of the stuff we make is just crazy all the "i gotta have this bigger" this has to move slower so everyone can see it all and make it look 3D and BLAM and plow and explosive! Lol
thats all I hear half the time.
