[#dAr] August 2011 Newsletter:icondeviantart-related: | Your Monthly dAr Newsletter
Covering August 2011 - Volume 6
Each month #deviantART-Related will roll out a monthly summary with features, interviews, contest details and updates concerning the deviantART related category here on dA. We run independently of any official dA representative and serve only to expand knowledge and open up the deviantART Related category. You may feel free to suggest something related to that category for feature, or an artist you feel represents something in that category well. All suggestions can be noted to ^ladygagz or #deviantART-Related.

deviantART's response regarding Art4Love.com
It recently came to dA's attention that a website called Art4Love.com was offering prints for sale, some based off of deviations also found on deviantART.com (and perhaps other works by artists not on deviantART). This is deviantART's response regarding the current situation.

Community Projects Around deviantART! Volume 1 :star: Community Projects Around deviantART :star:
Wait a second... what is a community project?:shifty:
A community project is when a group of people or an individual creates, develops, or does something for the benefit of another person or group of people.
Why is it so important anyways? :stinkeye:
Community projects try to resolve an issue, promote positive ideals, and/or is a good way to mix and mingle!
Contemporary:

First off, could you give us a brief introduction of yourself?
- I am a graduated graphic designer, if you ask me, I don't like design too much, it is something I study for several reasons, 1. To not disappoint my mother [lame isn't it], 2. Because I was too young and I thought Graphic Design = ART [Even more lame], 3. It was the only career I felt attracted to [plus it didn't have to deal with mathematics].
:target: I AM MORE ABOUT ART :target:
And everything that involves creating images out of pure ideas and creativity, I won't give you my real name but you can call me by my artistic name which is Rëmi Angel although I can also go by my deviant's name Ðerzorvadur wh

Chat Basics
So it might be your first day, or your 1800th day on the deviantART Chat
Network, but maybe there are a few tricks here and there you've
forgotten. This article aims to go over the basics of chatting on dAmn,
and whether this is a first lesson or a quick refresher, here's hoping
it helps!
Reinventing the Wheel
I don't want to do that, entirely. So before we even start, I want to show you this. That, my friends, is the Chat (and forum) FAQ section. It covers most of the tips and tricks I'll cover in a bit less detail here, and if you're ever curious about something, don't hesitate to look there! Either that, or pop into :#help: and a Community Volunteer or one of the awesome Community Helpers will be happy to lend a hand!

Play the Adri Game We all get down and feel at some point in the year, month, week, and day.
How can it get better?
Play My Game
Get a few friends together and make a promise that somehow every single day you will tell each friend one thing that makes them awesome and unique individuals unlike no other. You're their friend for a reason, and their your friends for their reasons. You just have to let them know and hear them out.
I'm your friend for a reason, I don't want you to constantly feel bad. So let my words influence you positively when you feel down; I want you to know as a friend how awesome you are. I want you to feel that awesomeness for yourself, so I'll remind you every day of it.
So I'll play my game, and make it happen. You should do it too.
You can do it on twitter, Facebook, sticky notes on their desk, skype Im/calls. Let them know how much they mean to you and learn intimate details why you have these friends. Even if
Conceptual Photography Conceptual Photography – What’s it all about?!
con♥cep♥tu♥al (adj.) Of, relating to, or based on mental concepts…♥
Conceptual Photography is sometimes a hard thing to define. However once you’ve got the hang of what is and isn’t conceptual you will find yourself seeing and creating concepts out of everyday life just like that. I’m determined to help make that happen!
Conceptual is about trying to recreate your fears, dreams, thoughts and ideas in an image. More often than not a Conceptual shot is set up. It is carefully processed and manipulated in set up and in-camera to convey the concept. However from time to time – as I am more frequently finding – you will notice you stumble upon Conceptual shots completely by accident.
Sometimes those are the best kind!
If it’s conceptual it will make you think twice, you may see a double meaning, you will be astounded by the thought pr
Devious Minds: TopicalityDiscovering what makes us devious.
*Topicality :spank: :iconTopicality:
How did you first discover deviantART?
:spank: I was looking at art online when I was young, and saw `loish's work, it eventually led me to deviantART. I lurked for a while, then eventually joined!
What was it about dA that made you want to stay?
:spank: I wanted to post my artwork... however once I discovered chats, I learned about GMs (now CV's) and Daily Deviation suggesting. I had and continue to have the loving support that keeps me here, along with my ability to find and collect beautiful artwork- Tis it is all about the art!

What is the story behind your username?
:spank: At one point I wanted to do debate in high school, but I've gone off to do other things. I was thinking of good user names and was playing with a random word generator. It came up with the word Topicality, a word I remembered was used in debate. It's used in debate when one is g

:bulletblue: If you'd like to suggest a stamp to be featured as a DD, please refer them to `BurgerBunny.
:bulletblue: dA related deviations only.
:bulletblue: The deviant shouldn't have received a DD within the last 3 months.
:bulletblue: The deviation should have proper credits (if needed) and not use any copyright protected material.
:bulletblue: Add a description why you think the deviation deserves a DD. It will make people who might receive it happy.

Guide to the deviantART Related Gallery!
The deviantART Related gallery is broad and confusing when approached with unfamiliar eyes, and so we have decided to make a quick and easy breakdown of the gallery--with examples! Each section opens with words in italics; these are the official deviantART definitions of the gallery sections and are the first thing you must consider when submitting to the gallery. The rest of the guide has been written by the dA related GMs, to try and help clarify things some.
