Rolling news24 creation

The News 24 layout is a well known news format and so we decided to use the logo and scrolling update in our project. In order to create this, we had to use photoshop to separate each logo part- this is to create the layers for Flash which is important in order to let the text flow infront of and behind other layers.







Using the cloning stamp, we got rid of the time that was on the screen shot from the internet, and cut each section up before inporting them into the Flash library.

In Flash we then positioned each segment correctly on the page, and typed the text which we wanted to scroll along the bottom of the page, and created it into a motion tween to it would end up the opposite side of the screen it started from.

We decided we wanted a clock which actually worked, so had to search the internet to find action script instructions.

The news section works really well and looks more realistic than the first BBC one we created.



Also, we are really pleased we decided to use the real time clock as it makes it look more professional and gives a sense of living in the present- making the event seem like it really has just happened
