Do's and Dont's of Ancillary Work

In today's lesson we looked at things we should be doing and things we should stay clear from doing they are as follows:

Do's

• I should make sure the colours I use work well with my genre R and B.
• I should make sure the font colour I use doesn't clash with the other colours on my digipak and advertisement.
• I should make sure the pictures I use are clear and in focus.
• I should make sure the barcade,date of release, record label logo, copyright info, website, title of the album, name of my artist (Vishay) and artist website are visible.
• Be very creative, and use technology such as Photoshop to transform my work into a professional standard.

Don'ts

• I shouldn't stretch any images but rather use ones that can fit my ancillary work.
• I shouldn't place any text on top of my artist's face but rather at the side top or bottom of my picture.
• I shouldn't use fonts that look too word document like e.g Times New Roman font but rather use fonts that are more creative. I can find a whole range of different fonts on dafont.com.
• I shouldn't use too many photos for the sake of filling up space. Instead I should only use pictures where they're needed.
• I shouldn't use any unnecessary effects which don't compliment my genre.
