A Beginners Guide to Customizing Your Profile
Learn easy ways to customize your profile!
Do you want to customize your profile on DeviantArt? Whether you’re trying to personalize your space for the first time or have been decorating your profile for years, here are some tips and tricks to make your profile feel like home.
Theme Is Everything
To start personalizing your Profile, first come up with an idea for the overall vibe you want it to have. This can range from simply selecting a color palette based on colors you like (or artwork in your Gallery) to deciding what backgrounds you want to use to add interesting elements to your Profile. Go with whatever suits your vision!
How to Customize
Add a Cover Image
Adding a Profile cover image is a great starting point for all deviants, and it’s easy to do!
When creating a cover image for your Profile, the recommended dimensions are 1600 pixels by 800 pixels and 1920x1080 resolution at minimum, so the image fits well and appears clearly for all viewers.

As always, please keep the Etiquette Policy in mind
The “display options” setting that allows you to select the maximum size of an image has now been added to presets in Studio, allowing you to easily set a default size for all future submissions.
To customize your presets, simply click the “Presets” option in your Studio. You can also create custom preset templates if you often submit different types of content with different preset needs, since something that works for your portrait photos may not be as applicable for your adoptables or emoticons!

Literature
Peter Remani - piano player
Peter Remani (use variant spelling of "Peter"?) was one of the top concert pianists in Europe. He was also a composer of some repute and a sought-after instructor. He had managed to make himself fairly wealthy (or "comfortably well-off"?) by the time he was 30 years old and was considered to be quite a 'catch' by the ladies.
Peter's career only faltered once, briefly, before the lady of his heart caught him and steadied him. He had developed a problem with gambling, encouraged by the people who sought out his company. They invited him to their social gatherings and insisted he join their little visits to the local casinos. Between their backslapping encouragement, aided by too much alcohol, Peter developed a habit for gambling. His skill with music, however, did not translate over into skill at the tables, but neither he nor his 'friends' took notice. After all, Peter was rich, wasn't he?
Luckily, Peter had better luck in picking a bride and the lovely Leonora, third
