Lol... @BBCBreakfast New graphics, trying to cater for mobile users, gone wrong! Come on, we dont need continuous captions, oversized headlines, info overload, please!!

Eurgh, not a fan of the new graphics on BBC Breakfast 🤷‍♂️

Was this redesigned by a teenager on work experience armed with Canva and ten minutes to spare?

→ The font is comically huge.

→ Nearly half the screen is swallowed by graphics.

→ The visual hierarchy is completely backwards.

→ The top-left branding looks broken.

→ Too many colours and styles are competing for attention.

→ It looks designed for a phone, not a television.

→ The purple gradient muddies the actual footage.

→ The “HEADLINES” label adds pointless clutter.

→ The BBC Breakfast branding feels awkwardly bolted on.

→ The spacing is inconsistent and messy.

→ It ruins an otherwise good Downing Street camera shot.

→ It feels cheaper rather than more modern.

→ Readability has been pushed into visual excess.

→ The whole package looks unfinished.

Eurgh, double eurgh.
