Portfolio Page...Contest!

**UPDATE** The contest is now closed and winners will be announced Monday!

So as many of you may recall, we promised to add a special portfolio page to subscribers accounts? Well, we are working on getting those rolling out but we have come to a stumbling block trying to decide exactly how they should look. And hey, since you guys will be the ones using them we decided you should be the ones who get to choose what they look like. But first…

For those unfamiliar with the concept I shall explain. The portfolio page will be a page that has a space for personal information, contact information, and the ability to place deviations on them of your choosing. The deviations will have no commentary on them, and a description will be optional. You may also pick and choose what deviations go on them. Primarily with things like this you would use it to showcase your strongest work.

The page itself will be username.deviantart.com/portfolio

The point of this page is for you to be able to use it to direct potential employers, outside audiences, schools that need to view artwork, etc to and will be more clean and professional looking. The page will not have ads of any type on it whether the viewer is logged into DA or not.
Think of a Storefront page but a bit more customized and personable and obviously a lot more control as to what images are used and where they are placed.

The main point here is this is a feature for those of you who subscribe to the site to use, and we could easily design it ourselves, but you guys are the ones who will be using it, so why not have someone from the community design it?

Now…the contest…

The Contest!

The contest is quite simple. Submit a mock up of what you feel this page should look like. Use the DA color scheme, come up with a new one, add a logo, layout the page however you wish, and add areas for text and a bio section. Feel free to use thumbnails or shots of your own deviations, provide a description of how you feel it should work or to explain areas etc. The page is yours to do what you want, so consider all the above to be just basic guidelines.
