Do's and Don't's

A Digipak has to follow the certain rules of do's and don't's. So before designing anything, a read of the do's and don't's list is necessary. 

Do...

• use a clear and readable font
• use appropriate images
• use the appropriate font and images which relates to the genre
• use the appropriate sizes for the font and images
• use the rule of thirds for composition for photographs
• make sure the images and the font are clear from a distance
• position images and font appropriately with careful consideration
• make sure the appropriate industry logos and conventions are present and properly positioned: barcode, copyright, title, artist name, record label and websites.

Don't...

• use unnecessary effects
• use layer styles
• stretch images as they would turn out pixelated, messy and unattractive 
• use a lot of different fonts
• use a font simply because you 'like it'
