6 sets that use repeating elements to create visual interest

‘Entertainment Tonight’

Syndicated entertainment newsmagazine “Entertainment Tonight” uses a prominent shape in today’s world as a repeating design element — the app icon. The set, from Consortium Studios, uses the shape literally in the form of large, on-set logos, though the exact treatment varies. The shape is also echoed in the anchor desk’s top and, to some extent, the structure, as well as the set’s riser sand general layout. Even the negative spaces created by leaving out a corner video panel, despite not being a square, still creates a subtle nod to the digital world as a pixel or 8-bit art of sorts.
