Gamers' Playstation Prognostication Full-Screen
A full-screen graphic is, quite simply, a graphic that takes up the entire screen. In television news these are used for numerous reasons, but most often they are used to break down complex ideas or large amounts of information in an easy to follow manner. Full-screens are also often used as billboards which serve as segues to different segments within a newscast.
Playstation Prognostication was a segment sponsored by Gamers that featured the sports department using a Sony Playstation to simulate upcoming Nebraska football games. The graphic was used as a lead in to the segment and had to encapsulate football, Playstation, and Gamers together in one image. The way the text and x’s and o’s play off each other and bring to mind a play drawn up on a chalkboard are what make this such a fun graphic.
