[deviantART related] AVATARS Avatars, whether for a Personal Site or a Group, can say a lot about the Deviant or Group by how the Avatar appears on the profile page. All Deviants and Groups can have an Avatar, as long as the Avatars are within certain parameters. Many Deviants keep the same avatar for years, often becoming known by their Avatar. Others will change their Avatars as the seasons change, or to match an upcoming holiday. Some Deviants have their names on their Avatars, some have flashy Animated Avatars and some have classic, simple Avatars.

Why did an icon get a DD? Daily deviations tend to be a controversial topic within the community and whether or not a DD is worthy of the feature is, as such, often discussed. As a CV for Icons & Handhelds I often find it interesting to read these discussions, since that way I can see what the community expects of the features, but the recent negativity on the Icons & Handhelds DDs is something I would like to address, which is why I'm thankful I'm given this opportunity during the Daily Deviation PE-week.

Why this journal? The reason I'm writing this journal is because miscatting has become quite a popular practice on dA and as such it needs to be addressed from time to time.
