This is the place where you can personalize your profile!
But, how?
By moving, adding and personalizing widgets.
You can drag and drop to rearrange.
You can edit widgets to customize them.
The left side has widgets you can add!
Some widgets you can only access when you get a premium membership.
Some widgets have options that are only available when you get a premium membership.
We've split the page into zones!
Certain widgets can only be added to certain zones.
"Why," you ask? Because we want profile pages to have freedom of customization, but also to have some consistency. This way, when anyone visits a deviant, they know they can always find the art in the top left, and personal info in the top right.
Don't forget, restraints can bring out the creativity in you!
Now go forth and astound us all with your devious profiles!

I see so many generic, glossy, high contrast, high saturation pictures of sunsets and pretty reflections in water, and wonder if this counts as photography. Out of all the items I have posted in my gallery, the most popular in terms of views and favourites etc are photographs. All images in my gallery are pictures taken with my mobile phone, any lighting was assembled with next to no effort, and the pictures taken as parts of series, such that something half decent was likely to come out.
The effort involved however to do even a simple drawing is so much more conscious and must feed from many hours of drawing experience. I fully understand and appreciate good photography, dont get me wrong. A good photographer will have an amazing eye for composition, and the technical aspect of photography is a vast subject... but with a million kids picking up digital cameras, and snapping away at the usual cliches...i just dont know.
Maybe its a good thing that photography is so accessable. Maybe drawing talent is underrated. Or maybe I am accidentally a great photographer, I doubt that very much.
It seems that it is wholly possible for anyone to pick up a camera, point it at something beautiful, and stumble into a great photograph straight away. Could the same person who has never drawn pick up a pencil and do a great drawing, or a paintbrush and do a great painting? I think this means that photography is basically just a very personal art, and that due to the freedom to choose relatively accurately, and with relative ease, what image you want to create/capture, photographs should not be rated as good or bad too quickly. I would argue that art in the traditional sence however, even if still only created as personal expression, can be judged as to its technical value from the outset.
If I am trying to get anything across, I think its really a question or two... Is photography easy? Does anyone really know whats 'good photgraphy'?
I am still thinking about this, it is probably just a reaction against the speed of the photographer to create their artwork... So it is apparent that what makes a good photographer is the eye they have for seeing what would create an aesthetically pleasing/meaningfull/thought provoking etc image. Is this true? Must a traditional artist not do the same, but then have to reinterpret it all again for themselves? If it is not technical ability that matters, and such arts are purely personal mediums, then what's left?
Any thoughts are appreciated. I don't really know yet.
Is photography too easy, is it easier than drawing? Is it a pointless to compare arts?
hm hm hmmm.
[I do see lots of interesting and inspiring photography, and no offence to sunset/puddle fanatics]
