What I would recommend having is a gradient which fades from semi-transparent-black to fully transparent, that way the text at the bottom is visible on light backgrounds. Love it otherwise šŸ˜ƒ ---

Nay. Safe areas arenā€™t being observed. If you were to display that on my TV, I would have the ticker cut off from the bottom and the clock/city cut off from the sides. ---

Safe areas still need to be observed for 16.9 though.

Why do ā€˜safe areasā€™ still need to be considered. I mean thatā€™s like still selling VHSs just cause some people might still use them. Australian TV is now widescreen. ---

My Samsung TV (which is only a couple of years old) has overscan which is impossible to disable, so it always cuts off the extreme edges of the picture. Most new TVs will do this - even though itā€™s all digital 16:9 (and a bit silly being inherited from the old Analogue TV days). Thereā€™s nothing that can be done about it, and thatā€™s why presentation packages have to be designed leaving space for 16:9 overscan. ---

I never bother with safe areas. My mocks are never going to end up on TV so why bother? It just makes then look silly. ---

> [@Jeffmister](#): > > It doesnā€™t make them look silly, they make them appear realistic from a layout/framing POV I think thereā€™s a difference between a mock looking realistic and being broadcast safe. Certainly I agree that pushing text right to the edge of the screen doesnā€™t work but I donā€™t think itā€™s necessary to design within a set box when we are just experimenting with ideas. ---
