Gallery Descriptions Month - win PRIZES!!!!!Galleries month
Update!
Just a few days left to enter! So don't delay!
This month at projecteducate a group of Community Volunteers have worked hard to create gallery description articles for almost every Gallery here on DeviantART. Throughout August we will be bringing you these articles covering the definitions of galleries from Photography to Photo-manipulation, Artisan Crafts to Digital Dolls. If you have any questions about where to submit your work here on DeviantART then this month will be your chance to ask. Just head over to projecteducate, send us a note or comment on one of the articles as and when they are posted.
A whole month of articles at projecteducate deserves a celebratory contest, so we're going to host one that will hopefully get your creative juices flowing! Since the aim of this month is to reduce mis-cats and help deviants re-classify their work correctly, we thought that a fitting them would be …
ARKs Kindness Quilt Contest! (5 DAYS LEFT!)deviantHEART is pleased to announce that we will be holding our 2nd Annual Kindness Quilt Contest!
Kindness Quilts are photo collages that are made up of custom Quilt Squares. They are positive and often tell a story of some kind. The templates come in two sizes, 3x3 and 4x4.
Here is a sample quilt for reference
"My Inspiration" In the spirit of kindness and community togetherness, we decided to pick a theme that will let participants be creative and will also benefit others! For this theme, you will create a kindness quilt as a tribute to a fellow deviant who has h

Feature Contest [Closed]Hello everybody!!
The contest is over, and I will enter the judging phase along with Egil21. Please be patient. My life is currently rather stressful, and it might take quite a time. As I gave you a lot of time to write entries, I hope to have your patience to judge on the entries.
We got 40 entries, which is an awesome number. There are wonderful thematic features amongst them, and I really hope, that this project helped to make a lot of featured artists happy, and also to create a sense for how a wonderful feature could look like.
(I am a bit sad, that one deviant made her account inactive during the time, so that her 3 entries are sort of invalid. In order to give the prizes to the active deviants, those entries will not be part of judging, even though they did the same job as the others: feature artists and spread the love.)
Good luck to all, and until sooooon
I am in current dialogue with All-about-features in order to set up a second contest lik

How did you stumble into the art world?
:iconedlouiearts:
This passion for art started when my big brother showed me what my name looked like. I was very fascinated, though back then I didn't even knew what each letter meant but I was happy to see my name written in a blank book cover. From there my journey started and

ProjectPorkchop Vol360:iconlesliestonehouse:
Leslie is a digital artist from Australia. She finds her inspiration in the teachings of Native American culture among others and her work is very spiritual. She applies her color in such a way that it resembles a traditional oil painting and she enjoys experimenting with different color palettes. Each work in her gallery has a positive message behind it and you are sure to be inspired! Leslie has been a member of DA for one year, so let's give her a warm welcome to the community!

News and articles
Site Update: Staff RetreatThis week's Site Update is a little different from usual in that we don't have any publicly visible changes. However, it's for a good reason. Our Devious Technology team is currently at a staff retreat!
What's New
Devious Technology Staff Retreat
The members of our Devious Technology team are currently in Canada for a staff retreat! Because the team is remote-based, this is the first time some of our developers have met one another in person!
The team is currently hard at work on a variety of upcoming projects for the community, and being able to interact face to face makes for a new, creative environment for them to code in as a team. Stay tuned for updates about the projects they're working on! #ItsComing

PE: Digital Typography ExplainedGallery Descriptions
Welcome to the Typography part of projecteducate's DeviantART Galleries Week!
After earliers Traditional Typography it's now time to talk about Digital Typography
Digital Art > Typography
Digital Art
Digital artwork originally created via the use of digital programs on a computer with a pen & tablet or computer mouse.
This should be self-explanatory, but for completeness I will add it here. Anything that is (eventually) created on a computer should go here. As mentioned in the previous article slight corrections to photographs or scans do not turn your traditional work into digital. A digital camera also does not.
Typography
Typography is the art and technique of arranging type, designing a type face or modifying letters.
Simple rule: does it contain letters or words? Then it is Typography.
Whether you submit it to that gallery, depend
