When covering the controversial photos of Idaho Fish and Game official Blake Fisher Monday, Oct. 15, 2018, “Good Morning America” created “rustic” graphics.

Interspersed with the photos themselves, “GMA” also used fullscreen graphics to display excerpts from emails with a wood column on the left and right. The quote was in a shaded box with wood texture frame and label.

A similar look was used for audio recordings, complete with brownish-tan audio wave bars coming down from the top of the frame.
