- 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...
