How should a CJ look like !

As simple as a Dia show with some commentary, multimedia spectacle graphics embeded video or just a newspaper style or a fictional created world ! Most will start as a simple page of pictures and text ! Second we want to create some kind of virtual world with some story arround. Newspaper style CJ need something more content like custom graphics like pictures and banners. Multimedia spectacle uses all media formes graphic, video and sound to bring the message !

This place is to show those different writing style´s. Discus about theme freely !

Sincerely yours,

kschmidt

I'm def. in.

I'm not so good at graphics and I find them boring to work with. I like to see nice graphics, but I'm not fussed. I prefer content and story. The background. My eyes sparkle when I see those CJ where people have created entire worlds for their sims to live in, along with politics, religion, culture, etc... I went and did the same, inspired by them. I'm not so good at it yet, but I'm practicing. I'd say my style is more writing-oriented, where I can express myself more freely. I love when people comment. The advice I have been given so far for Branny and Branny V2 has helped me a lot!

 

Nice idea, this club, by the way! It's so cool that we're so active in a community for a "game" that is now some 15 years old... SC4 is Die Hard!!! Woop Woop!!!!

    There´s so many different way´s. Graphical effects are nice I for now opted for the most commen straight forward aproach, time saving put a series of pictures with commentary. Free Africa was a CJ I tried to show a story so common in Africa about power and ordinary people making a short story. Graphicly I may only go for enhanced graphics in a special CJ or in a CJ series customized header and/or some banner in the future ! What I like are the use of photo list´s and shadows and probably nice sample

    Sincerely yurs,

    As an inactive (but not retired) CJer, I suggest you to add how the country make its independence (if any), how the population spread etc.

    Thanks.

    Nice you had a look at my club pages ! We'rr not very active at the moment. A good CJ ? Some style graphics, info not overwhelming, not too much text, up to the point Consider how much you want to bring, little updates elsewhere perhaps !

    Welcome,
