Overviews of Do's and Dont's of design work

Below are a list of all the do's and donts to follow while creating the digipak and magazine adverts for our music video projects.










Do's

• Use a clear font
• Use appropiate sizes for images and font
• Use clear photos that are in focus
• Use photos that are an appropriate shape for the page
• Use a layout that follows the rule of thirds for composition
• Make sure the font is clear from a distance
• Follow Genre conventions
• Follow the conventions of the 3 colour rule and use colour that is appropriate for Images, Font, Background
• Use appropriate industry logos and conventions, properly positioned:
  Barcode
  Date
  Copyright
  Titles
  Artist Name

 Dont's

• Stretch the images, this will make them out of focus
• Use layer styles
• Use unnecessary effects, they must suit the genre
• Place text across the artists face
• Use a font simply because you like it
• feel u need a seperate photo on every panel
