Adit Shukla's portfolio is shown in the image above. I feel that the colours overall work well on the website, they are all warm, but not too hars on the eyes, they also link well together for this particular site.

The content may be a little sparse although the background image may influence you to feel this. The image contains a lot of depth and is an image of a sparsely populated area. In fact their is a lot of information given on the website with loat of links to various social networking websites such as ttwitter, deviant art and facebook, so that the users can find more information on the designer.

There are links dotted around all over the place which offers options and choice, although this comes across quite messy because they are spread around the page in all different areas, all of which arer in different fonts sizes and colours. The sidebar is the main way of navigating around the page. This looks good when used with the background image of the river however the sidebar takes up a lot of space on the page, and is almost as large as the content box.

He uses different font sizes cleverly to show the users what he wants them to see. He is selling his name as a freelance designer by having his name at the top of the page in extremely large font when compared to the rest of the site. He also increases the font size of the links to his various social networking places like deviant art. This gives the user an option to look at more work for his portfolio, although this is navigating the user away from his website, whereas i would want to advertise the work on my own portfolio more than the work published on deviant art etc.

There are examples of his work on the website, although most of his examples seem to be images and logos that he has designed for various companies. These images are of very good quality and do show off his tallent as a graphic designer vey well. The website, also shows examples of phone applications that he has designed, which is not of much use to people who havent got a iphone, however he displays the concept well.

Adit Shukla style is more graphic than technical. He feels his tallent lies mostly in graphic design and photoshop which i feel is true, however he displays his images and logos in an orderly fashion but there is no text or any information about the images. Therefore this can sometimes seem pretty useless, because i would like know more.
