Huge DA News!

Journal Entry: Wed Jul 1, 2009, 3:41 PM
:bulletred: :star: :bulletred: Huge DA News! :bulletred: :star: :bulletred:


:onfire: Real Fast-The Christmas In July Print Sale--- Yes, I will be doing this for quite awhile on my work, for those of you are interested in getting some of my photographs in 12x18 personally signed and on the cheap, read this journal here! Now that being said, it is "Drop The Bomb" news time!!!


:onfire: Could this be the best thing ever for DA?--- If you are a subscriber, go become a Beta Tester asap! And I mean like NOW! It isn't out yet but when it is, you will be able to do it! What is I am talking about? Read on!

Remember back a few months ago when I asked in a poll to give me your suggestions for deviantART? Remember all that? What was one of the most common answers that was given? Portfolio's! How it would be nice to have something that looked completely professional with no advertising or deviantART branding at all on it. Something that honest to God blew people away. Something that kicked major butt that and put it on same kind of level as many expensive sites out there already. Guess what!? It is COMING!!!!

Today, us GM's got the first sneak and the chance to play with the new upcoming Portfolio's! Let me tell you guys, this just put DA on a whole different level, the likes of which DA has never seen! I must admit, I was stoked about Groups, but this, this is just completely AWESOME! If some of you recall, the Portfolio's of before that were in Beta testing? Remember those? lol This will make that look like it was put together by 2 year olds! I am talking the full on deal here....the REAL deal!

I have to hand it to the developers of this, because honestly, they went totally full tilt out on this. I honestly can not ever recall being so excited about something on deviantART before. I think this will turn a lot of you on your heads, from thinking that DA is just an art community to something that now mixes both community with complete professionalism!

So what does it all do you ask?

:bulletred: Choose a custom domain that deviantART has provided OR you can even use your own! Yes you read correctly, you can actually use your very own domain with this!

:bulletred: There is NO mention anywhere of deviantART in anything at all. Not even if you are a free user.

:bulletred: Portfolio storage! Yes, complete portfolio storage of images, that are NOT in your deviantART gallery!

:bulletred: Directly import images that you already have in your gallery.

:bulletred: No HTML or CSS knowledge needed at all, 2 skins---dark and light, font color choices, and the best thing---Personal Brand Identity! Yes, you can have your OWN logo that you yourself created, upload it, and use it!

:bulletred: Complete Artist Bio's

So how does it look? I don't know you tell me! Mine is here, and I am just messing about with it thus far, tinkering somewhat with it. In the days to come I will give it the full throttle work over though! Go check out $liquisoft journal and read up all about it and check out the examples which he has listed! [link]

Greetings Folks!

My name is John and I am the Gallery Manager for Photography>Animal, Plants and Nature

I thought that I would take a few minutes and introduce you all to myself, and first and foremost, if you ever have any questions about anything, please feel free to send me a note at any point with comments, questions, concerns, or feedback. I welcome it all! I really wanted this position when it came up to be offered, as it is one of the areas which I specialize in with photography, the other is Retro subject matter (think hotrods & kustoms....old signage...) Living in Colorado is akin to living in Nature Photography paradise and I am thankful everyday for where I live. I took the position here to try and make DA a better place, share what knowledge and info I have, to showcase works of the lesser seen artist's who I believe SHOULD and NEED to be seen, and to oversee the APN gallery as a whole, and to uphold it to better standards.

About me as a photographer: These days I shoot on Minolta equipment, both film and digital, and soon to be the owner of a Sony dslr seeing as how they took over Minolta. I have been actively shooting since 1994, where I first learned about photography while studying for my BFA degree in Illustration at Rocky Mountain College of Art and Design. I was hooked, and started out in the old skool darkroom using B&W film on a couple different fully manual slr's. These last couple of years I have decided to pursue my passion full time as a photographer and chase my dreams of being a full time photographer. My markets concentrate on stock, the greeting card industry, book and magazines, along with prints of my work.

How I came to know DA: I joined DA in Jan. 2004 after hearing about it from illustration and drawing email lists I belonged to. I first heard of it a few years before I joined and would often come here to browse the art and become inspired, knowing that one day, I would certainly be joining this site. And in 2004, I decided I would, and well, I have been ever since, meeting wonderful people. I have seen changes come and go on DA, some good, some not so good, but one thing always stood, deviantArt as a whole, and the incredible community that this site is and has become! We meet everyone from every corner of the earth, and we can go places that we would never be able to otherwise, all through a photographers eyes! There really is, no other place like DA!
