It would have been a tragedy if anyone follows my advice to pay a professional and find their money wasted because the destination guide editor has another idea of a good picture. I have written a follow-up post which can be found here: http://sl-playinstinct.blogspot.be/2013/04/why-destination-guide-editors-should-be.html<br />Estelle Pienaarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00924773987423784033noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7251125935601916972.post-83735774727387927102013-04-03T05:53:32.295-07:002013-04-03T05:53:32.295-07:00This is very true Stella and something i do consid...This is very true Stella and something i do consider when submitting my experiences to destination guide. People look for something that catches their eye when looking through the destination guide, it can the single most important thing to make a persons decision to visit your place. But i have found that quite often the image i submit is not the one Linden Labs editors use. For example My first game "the hidden secret base' i submitted a picture of my avatar walking down the dark corridor. I thought this was a good tease at what users would find inside and conjured questions of what is down that cave, whats secrets would i find? But Linden Labs editors decided to use a pic they took of someone sat by a camp fire that was not at all related to the underground base. I complained and they soon replaced it with the one i submitted. A month or so later LL changed the image again to one the one it has currently. While this shows exactly what you will see when you arrive at the start, it does not grab your attention or imagination. http://tinyurl.com/cn9h77c . So while its good to consider your snapshot promotional image, your ultimately at the mercy of the Lindens Editor with wether it gets used or not.Lokihttp://lokieliot.comnoreply@blogger.com
