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!
New Zealand Graphic designer, looking to start up by myself.
Devious Journal Entry

The Following is a extract from Computer Arts who interviewed David Carson one of the greatest designers of our era. I just want to hammer home the point that i made last time.
CA: Youre back working with Quark. Do you think contemporary designers depend too heavily on the abilities of their software packages?
DC: Absolutely. I work in basically one program, Quark. Its not about having and knowing all the latest gimmicks and photo tricks. Good design comes from the most basic decisions cropping, font choice, the overall design. If you havent got the eye, no program will give it to you.
Its partly why we see so many solid, well-designed magazines today, but almost none that stand out. Designers get lazy and let whoever made their software make decisions for them. Your computer shouldnt tell you the proper distance between columns of type you need to be making those decisions. Get that title, subtitle and byline out of the same box!
