PE: Decorating Your ProfileDecorating Your Profile
Your profile page is the first thing people will see when they click on your name, so it's very important to leave a good impression! This article will provide some useful tips and tricks for both premium and non-premium members who want to convert their profile into their own, unique page. First off, some Do's and Don'ts of profile decoration:
Do:
Use dA's profile widgets-- there are lots of great options to chose from
Show off some art (that's what people are here for!)
Express your personality through colors, stamps, gifs, etc.
Don't:
Add so many images that your profile takes forever to load
Use garish or headache-inducing colors
Make text difficult to read with dark backgrounds
Non-Premium Widgets
While many widgets are restricted or locked for non-premium members, there are still a variety of great widgets that you can add to your profile, even without a membership.

Overall Vision Originality Technique ImpactThis is one of the greatest resources around. Since there are other ways to customize your profile; using journal skins as featured deviations gives you more possibilities. And with this in our one hand, using the information here to create links to widgets allows us to create perfect navigation on long profile pages with lots of widgets and information. So this tutorial is simply gold.
The design of the tutorials are also very important. When they are pleasing to eye, it is more enjoyable to read them. Background color and the blueish color used for "highlighted" text looks pretty together, and makes the reading more comfortable. Text-image balance is very well done. If one those elements overwhelm the tutorial, it becomes a torture trying to hunt down the information you need. The clean and clear style is so good.
Over all, this is one of the most elegant presentation of one of the most useful information. What is left to us is to thank you...
