Launches, exclusives and first looks feel bigger in the language of news: a white headline bar, condensed capitals and a red strap underneath.
What makes it work
| Habit | Why it works |
|---|---|
| Capitals, few words | "MAISON VEY EXCLUSIVE" |
| Detail in the subline | "First look at Ambre Nuit" |
| Bars that fit the words | Tight bars look intentional |
| Use sparingly | Save it for real news |
| Over strong footage | The product should be visible above it |
Make one with News Lower Third
News Lower Third is a free, open-source HyperFrames block. A bold news-style lower third: a white headline bar and a red subline that size themselves tightly to your text. Ask your agent:
Make a news lower third: "MAISON VEY EXCLUSIVE", "First look at Ambre Nuit", over our perfume shot.
It renders an 8-second lower third with a transparent background.
