Community: DeviantArt

DeviantArt is a community art display/social networking service featuring artwork, videography, and photography.  Launched in 2000, the site is considered a “peer evaluation application” as it facilitates users to leave comments and critiques on other individuals work.  It is a free-to-use site that offers users further service if they purchase a subscription.  These services include an ad free experience, the ability to post artwork, as well as access to numerous personalization features.  DeviantArt primarily generates income through advertising in the form of banner and page ads.  These ads are image based, embedded into a web page, and are a very popular form of website advertising.
