Overview of 'Do's & Don't'

We were given a sheet that explained to us what we should and should not do. Below are an overview of Do's and Don't

DO'S

• Use a clear font
• Use appropriate sizes for images and font
• Use clear photos that are in focus
• Use photos that are an appropriate shape for the page
• Make sure the font is clear from a distance
• 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

DON"T

• 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
• You dont need to have a photo on every panel
