Planning Ancillary Products: Do's & Don'ts Of Design Work.

DO'S

Clear font
Appropriate image size
Clear photos in focus
Layout must follow rule of thirds for composition
Think about where the font is
Must follow the Three Color Rule for font, background and images.
All conventions must link to chosen genre (ours being Hip Hop/R&B)
Use appropriate industry logos, for example "Island Records"

DON'TS

Do not stretch the photos as they'll lose focus
Do not use layer styles or unnecessary effects
All effects should suit the genre
Do not place the texts over the artists face as they'll not be visible and it would not look good.
