T he Deviousness Award, bestowed in recognition of exemplary membership and an outstanding spirit of helpfulness and mentoring within the DeviantArt community, has recently undergone a reevaluation to provide a focus and a re-definition as to just what Deviousness truly represents.

You don't have to shop at 'studio lighting' or 'backdrop shop' for the proper gear. These simple tips will hopefully h
First, a quick primer, which probably consists of information that most of you already know.
So, you want to write an article with cool CSS, and you want to make it work nicely when it's displayed on the tiny screen on your smartphone. Tricky! However, with media queries it becomes pretty easy. By writing
.text { color: blue; }
Media (https://www.deviantart.com/media) only screen and (max-width:480px) {
.text { color: red; }
}
...suddenly you have blue text at normal resolutions, and red text on a smartphone. Or on a browser which has been resized down to be really narrow.
In fact, try it out on this article! If you resize your window right now to make it narrower, it

Gallery Descriptions Month - The Roundup
Galleries month
Galleries Description month was full of epic articles and a lot of hard work went into each and every one of them courtesy of the Community Volunteers. This article is a roundup of everything published during the last month here at projecteducate (https://www.deviantart.com/projecteducate) and hopefully has helped a lot of you when it comes to understanding the descriptions of the galleries here and categorising your work. Huge thanks go to all involved who made this past month a success! We also held a A Contest of which the results will posted within the next week.
