We think it deserves an announcement of its own, ahead of time.
The current deviantART thumbnails (the smaller versions of deviations)  have served the community well for years; however, there's always room for improvement.

After nearly a month (!!!) of viewing DD suggestions and generally browsing around the community looking for new and interesting things to feature, I have come up with a list of the most common mistakes that photomanipulators make. Other photomanip CVs, especially :devkuschelirmel:, :devconzpiracy:, and :devwilderwein77:, have posted a lot of great articles and tutorials about each of the items I'm going to discuss. I therefore will not go into terribly much detail right at this time. I'll be happy to re-address them in later articles.

deviantART policy defines a DD as an image that [a staff member or volunteer] finds impressive or otherwise interesting enough to deserve being brought to the attention of the community-at-large. In other words, it is a deviation that ROCKS and that we think everyone should have the pleasure of seeing!

DDs are important because:
They bring personal exposure to the artists who are featured AND, to a lesser extent, to the artists who suggest themThey bring attention to the photomanipulation community and show everyone what we are all aboutThey provide a way of touching or influencing people on a large scale by pr ]]> http://aeirmid.deviantart.com/journal/Why-must-you-credit-your-stock-288998047 http://aeirmid.deviantart.com/journal/Why-must-you-credit-your-stock-288998047 Tue, 06 Mar 2012 17:55:10 PST Why must you credit your stock? nonadult journals/personal Aeirmid http://a.deviantart.net/avatars/a/e/aeirmid.gif?5 Copyright 2012-2013 ^Aeirmid

Recently, I announced changes to Daily Deviations in this journal and I'm happy to say that the response has been favorable.  To review, we have made the following changes:

I'm rooting for the latter ;)

I wanted to post a quick update on changes to Daily Deviations.  It is important to note that these changes have not been hard-coded so my team is manually following these new guidelines.  This means that errors can and likely will occur until the coding is complete, your patience and understanding is appreciated :)

Last week, :devsanguinevamp: and I were talking about how people on dA seem to often feel lost in this big community. Especially if they're new to dA, but also if they've been here a while and still find it hard to get a critique. And how on the other hand some people cry for critiques and if you give them your honest opinion, they pretty much kick you for your efforts.

We all like to think that this has been a recent problem, but trust me when I say that even when I was a newb here (in 2004), dA didn't feel all that much more accessible.

Valentine's Day is right around the corner, and we're big on love here at deviantART! Whether it's the love of someone's gallery, the glomping of that friend who's always there for you, or the devotion you share with that special someone, February 14th is the perfect day to remind those around you how much they bring to your life. One of the great Valentine's Day traditions is giving and receiving heartfelt messages between friends, family, lovers, or even secret admirers. This year, we wanted to add digital deviance to the tradition by introducing the Great Valentine Exchange!
