Graphic Instructions (Based on Yesterday’s Layout + New Features)

Here’s what your live studio graphic should look like for the 11:35 AM AST update:

  • Studio Layout:
    Anchor Desk:
    Glass-top anchor desk with a laptop in front of you.
    Green Screen Wall (Beside You): Display the bold text “TNW News Hurricane Center”. Also feature TV monitors showing live Hurricane Hunter aircraft mission feeds.
    Green Screen Floor: A dynamic hurricane radar map that pops up from the floor, giving the illusion you’re walking on top of it—activated via your iPad tap.
    Additional Pop-up Effect: The hurricane data (e.g., storm stats, path) emerges in 3D style from the floor map after your tap, emphasizing urgency.
    Studio Branding: Add an “Italian stamp” styled graphic next to the LIVE indicator (e.g., “IN DIRETTA” aesthetic).
    Lighting & Perspective: Ensure the elements have perspective and depth. The floor projection should align with your anchor position and appear underfoot.

Let me know if you’d like me to craft a teleprompter script, a lower-third ticker, or assist with widget-ready broadcast overlays to pair with this graphic setup.
