Daily DeviationsRecently, I announced changes to Daily Deviations in this journal and I'm happy to say that the response has been favorable. To review, we have made the following changes:a> The "3-month rule" is now the "6-month rule" meaning an artist cannot receive another DD if they have had one in the last 6 months.b> Daily Deviation selectors are limited to a maximum of one selection per day. This has been put in place to focus on quality vs quantity.The hard-coding of these new guidelines is now in place (special thanks to $ZombieCoder for that ). These changes are part of an ongoing initiative to better our Dai

January 2012 Vector DDs!What is Vector Art?In digital art there are two layer formats: raster and vector. Raster formats are based in pixels and vector is based in paths and points.When you resize a raster image, you are expanding the pixels. Your program has to try to estimate what the colours would be for the additional pixels created. Due to this, the image loses it's clarity and creates a pixel effect.When you resize a vector image, you are increasing the distance between the points. Due to this, the image doesn't lose it's clarity and doesn't pixellate.The key element of vector is that it's infinitely scalable without any quality loss and it's why we love it!What is a Daily Deviation?A Daily Deviation is a site wide feature. These are selected from our galleries by Community Volunteers and from suggestions from ANYONE who is a member of deviantART!If you'd like to find out more about how to suggest a Daily Deviation to me, check out
