Do's and Don'ts of design work

Do's

• Use clear fonts
• Use clear photos that are in focus
• Use appropriate industry logos and conventions, properly positioned such as Barcode, Date, Copyright, Titles and Artist name
• Follow the conventions of the 3 colour rule and use colour that is appropriate for: Images, colour and background

Don't s

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