Well, due to my inborn gift with paint and else, I declare myself automatically disqualified .

Now now, there's no need to put yourself down. I personally thought you made a pretty decent world map with paint.

If there's no graphic guru among us, then I wouldn't mind making an attempt to create something. I have photoshop and many royalty free designs and graphics.
Coming up with an idea is another thing.

Well i am in the middle of making one, you should also make one, or even more, and we can get inspiration from each other! i have a good concept but i don't think i am pulling it off very well XD

EDIT:
Ok i have made to avvies as ideas for the group, the first one is kinda the concept idea, and i like it without any writing, the second is a modified version of it with writing tell me what you guys and gals think.

How exciting !

DD, I'm seeing nothing right now and what is "avvies"? :p

Edit: seeing it now! Well, nice idea. What about using a map more like the one I used for the CAW group? And can we make the title follow the form of the map, you know what I mean, rounding too?

Yeh i get what you mean, i don't think my graphics program is capable of doing that, sleeprose will have to investigate also avvies are the profile pictures, their the same thing, just a different name :P

It's so difficult when you have such a tiny space to work with. I love to see it with writing, but then it's hard to see the globe. I like that icon though. Using your map would be cool too, Lana. But it would have to be in the current colors. They are so wild, I just love it!

We can't use the one we're using for our group icon because that is copyright of TS3 and EA, so we would have to make, or use a different globe picture also the default display picture is 100x100

Ok i tried to do it more like you said lana, but i can't get the text to go around the globe, and i'm not sure there would be enough space :/ anyway, here was an idea:

Ooo, maybe I should come up with an avvie? I'm sort of, um technology savvy? Or not, maybe I'll just try and see how it works out. I don't have photoshop, only Gimp so I'll see what I can do.

. _ .

Okay, Edited.

I have accumulated a bunch of pictures as a base, and was wondering if you liked any of them. Since I see DD is going on a globe theme...

My favorite (= Sort of kiddish but I like.


Also like this one, because it's sort of glowy =D


Then this big one


And then, I call it Avatar Planet.

This is an example I made with text around an image. Colors and material of the words can be pretty much anything you like.



Lia, your globes look so much better than mine! I really like them. :lovestruc

Looks good! Could you maybe show us different styles of planets and colors so that we could choose from it?

Yeh, i am not a big fan of the globe you're using lia :/ and sleepyrose, yours is a bit too dark, needs to be brighter and bubblier, with happier font text too

What do people think of expanding the depth of the world a bit by putting in a large ancient sewer system underneath the town centre? It could all connect up with divewells, they can go from lot-to-lot. If we keep it all the same theme under town, it could be a very cool feature, and could hide some extra aspects of our storyline too.

How can you do that? Can you explain it a bit more, does it need to have lots of lots underground?

That sounds amaaazing, anything underground is good by me! I think the best would be ancient sewer system linking with secret crypts and galleries, like some of the Paris Catacombs ones - I'm dreaming of an underground 'museum of curiosities', lots of candles all over the place

Well, not entirely news lots. You just build basements with an ancient tunnel look to them underneath the lots we're already building. Eg:





It allows a lot of scope for people to build basements. If they're classified as tombs they won't bother the people who live above them, and they could hold one or two secrets. They just have dramatic potential, and a lot of european towns have old tunnels and bunkers thanks to sewerage and wars.

Divewells have a feature called 'uber dive wells', which allows you to set them to link to other dive wells on remote lots. There would only need to be one or two entrances, and the rest could simply by underneath other lots, linked with dive wells.
