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.
To get
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!

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.

verraten (nicht) alles über uns…
Titel Zwei: die Schönheit
falscher Worte ist ein unfrei
Einheitsbrei
I. Verraten
für die zahllosen Obdachlosen
eine milde Spende!
sonst verschwindet
die Ursache, die Krankmache
die uns verbindet
für einen Abfall ohne Ende
in einer Dimension
ohne jeden gabenreichen Grund
das Wachstum, eine Illusion
die weder sprießt, noch frisch verendet
Hauptsache, erfasst in zahllosen
Daten, die alles über uns
verraten
II. Kinder des letzten Zeitalters
was sich auszahlt, muss gut sein!
was sich rechnet, das bringts!
die geschlossene Formel stimmt
der Rest ist rastloses Almosen
für die Abgespeisten, Ahnungslosen!
das lernt uns die eliminatorische Elite!
einen schönen Tag noch, der Stippvisite!
(deren Bezahlung im Voraus erfolgt)
Motivation Null! und wir sind
nur noch ein kataleptischer Kult
eine Anlaufstelle für das Volk
ohne Volk, am Arm, das zukunftslose
Kind
