Media blog Post 52 - Do's and Don'ts

Do's

  • Stick to two clear fonts as a maximum. Make sure that they complement each other and are appropriate for the genre that you are following
  • Stick to three colors as a maximum. Make sure that they go together well
  • Make sure you are using clear photos that are in focus. Make sure that they are the appropriate shot-sized for the size of your pane
  • Follow the rule of thirds for composition 
  • Remember to include bar code, date, copyright information, title of the album, artist name, record company logo, website and artists website. 


Don't
  • Use unnecessary effects. Any text or image effects must suit the genre. Don't go mad using Photoshop.
  • Stretch images to fit the panel - if the image isn't the right size to start with then dump it! Stretched images lose marks. 
  • Place text across the face of the artist. 
  • Use fonts simply because you like them...
