Overview's of Do's and Don'ts of design work (planning)

The following rules below are helpful notes to that we established as a group what are the pros & cons of making successful digipack & advertisement.








Do's:
1.Use a clear font.
2. Use appropriate sizes for both images and fonts.
3. Use clear, in focus images so the audience can see at a glance.
4. Use photos that are an appropriate shape for the page.
5. Use a layout that follows the rule of thirds for composition when taking photographs.
6. Use an appropriate type face that follows genre conventions and a particular style.
7. Be careful where you place the font. The font should follow genre conventions and be clear from a distance.
8. Follow the conventions of the three colour rule and use colour that is appropriate for images, font and background.
9.Use appropriate industry logos and conventions, properly positioning the barcode, date, copyright, titles and artist names.
















Dont's:
1 .Stretch images
2. Use layer styles
3. Use unnecessary effects that do not suit the genre
4. Use a font just because you like it. What you may like, may not fit in with the target genre and therefore the target audience.
5. Feel like you need a different photo for every panel. Be creative in what you are doing.
