Do's And Don'ts For Digipack & Magazine Covers

Do's: 

• Use Clear Font
• Use appropriate sizes for images and font.
• Use clear in focus pictures.
• Use appropriate sized photos.
• Use the layout that follows the convention of the rule of 3rd for composition.
• Use appropriate type face that's follows:

1.  Genre Convention
2. A house style

• Follow convention of the 3 colour rule and use colour that is appropriate.
• Use appropriate industry logos and conventions, properly positioned:

1. Barcode
2. Date
3. Copyright
4. Titles
5. Artists name.

Don'ts:

• Stretch images, this will make them out of focus.
• Use layer styles
• Use unnecessary effects. Any effects used MUST suit the genre.
• Place text across artists face.
• Use a font simply because 'you like it'.
• Fell you need a separate photo on every panel - be creative!!!

These are all features which are simple to follow to make our covers great, however if we do not follow the dos and donts as a template i believe that the whole process of making a digipack could go down hill, also seeing as this is what is used alongside the mark scheme.
