First Map Ever Using CC3
So here it is, my first, well second map ever using CC3. I know it's a bit rough and I've only really used the CC3 tutorials but I'm pleased with it as a wip. It's missing some things in the upper west corner mostly because I'm not very creative. If anyone has any feedback I'd appreciate it very much. BTW, I know the map is small but I don't know how to change the resolution.

Even if I am correct, I would still advise you to follow your heart. This whole Cartographers Guild thing, it seems to me, is more about passion and skill and learning new techniques than it is about definitions and rules.

The maps great.
I am assuming you are saving the map as a JPEG/PNG. If so you need to change the resolution by: TOOLS -> OPTIONS -> BITMAP SETTINGS and then change the X & Y features to something more appropriate (I have mine set for 2400 x 1800)

Here's another map I did using the tutorials, user's guide, and map making guide that came with the software. I found that B&W maps are a little more forgiving than the color maps. I think I may have gone a little overboard with the symbols on this map though. However, I am pretty proud of my mountain range in the SE corner. I think it looks pretty geologically correct. The main reason that I am posting this is to show what a difference a little tutorial and a lot more creativity can do for a NooB. So for all you newbs out there, stay motivated.
Also I'm figuring out that this map making think is more of an art than a science, especially on the large scale. You can't be obsessed over points on a grid and what not when doing this stuff, or you just limit what you're capable of doing. Right?
I think you are really starting to get the hang of the CC3 software, and soon you will be making awesome(r) maps.
Good Job!
