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.

Manage and Schedule Journal Drafts in Studio
Journal drafts are joining the party in the Studio! Previously, unfinished drafts of journals could only be found in the Posts tab on your Profile, but with this and a few other quality-of-life improvements, Studio is the one-stop place to manage needs of both your visual and written deviation drafts!
Manage Journal Drafts
In the Drafts section of your Studio, navigate to the "Journals" tab at the top, right next to "Media" and "Literature," and make any edits you need. Journal drafts are still available in their previous home in Profile > Posts > and selecting "Drafts" from the dropdown.
Schedule Journals
As with other types of content, you can now schedule journal drafts through your Studio. Simply go to Drafts > Journals > Click the “...” on the far right of the draft > Select "Schedule," and set your preferred publish time. You can also bulk schedule by checking the boxes to the left of each item and selecting from the "Edit" menu.

Touched by StrangelyShiny, literature
Literature
Touched
Playground fuses metal and wood, pure and purified meeting like so many faces
United against expectations, assumptions, records removed from the needle.
One step separates structure from serenity, solid ground easily divided like any man
Beyond whatever walls may exist in this place whose heart beats within and beyond soil.
Tickled branches like giggling youngsters, echoes spraying sun over the highway
Unique to this slice of humble pie, contents I still ingest as they win me over.
A younger me would've delighted in getting lost, house of learning in fact a temple
Welcoming quest lovers with a plethora of portals overseen by gentle guardians.
Somewhere my seed is still extending its roots, impact lost only if I decide
What could've been will reign supreme above flowers I witnessed rising higher.
Their light is still inside of me, asking to be let out of the cage I can crush at any time,
Footprints stepping into dirt to make one of a hundred trails leading somewhere new.
