We just came across this new design for the dA homepage on dribbble. Let us know what you think! Here is the accompanying text from the artist, Emil Andersson:

"Just me who thinks that deviant art feels a little expired? I felt that I had to fix something that feels a little more up to date. And there are many little features that I want to tell you about that is not visible in the image. Be sure to check out the full size version before complaining on the design.

Instead of deviantArt scales the thumbnails automatically there will be a separate field for uploading a thumbnail with a predetermined fixed size. This way the screenshots looks more attractive.

The pagination for the deviants view uses ajax to call next page without refreshing the url. The shots loads one by one. In this way it feels that you just slide through the pages. So instead of using the old click pagination you have a slider on the bottom of the page where you can slide to the page you want to view. On OSX you can just slide left or right (prev / next) on the mouse to cycle through pages.

When a user uploads a deviation with a file attached it will be shown in the bottom right corner of the thumbnail. Zip, Rar, PSD, AI and more."
