Overview of do's and don't

For our Digipak covers and magazine adverts, we had learnt what to do and not what to do.

We was suggested to,

·         Use a clear font

·         Use clear photos that are in focus

·         Use photos that are appropriate

·         Use appropriate sizes for images and fonts

·         Use appropriate type face that follows both genre conventions and a house style

·         Follow the convention of the 3 colour rule and use colour that is appropriate for images, fonts and backgrounds

·         Use appropriate industry logos and conventions, properly positioned, e.g. Barcode, date, copyright, titles and artist name.

We was suggested not to,            

·         Stretch images because they would make them out of focus

·         Use layer styles

·         Use unnecessary effects because any effects used must suit the genre

·         Use a font simple because you ‘like it’

·         Feel you need a separate photo on every panel
