Ancillary: Do's and Don'ts.

During the introduction the ancillary products, we were given a talk regarding what creates ancillary products, in order to make a good package it is important we made a not of the do's and don'ts to ensure we achieve success.

Do's

• Use clear font, make sure the colour works against the background, and the font is an appropriate size in order for the audience to comprehend the information.

• Position the information in the correct places, for example the barcode and production information is ideally found on the back at the bottom, stick to this convention to achieve a professional digipak.

• Make sure the pictures of the artist and other things are clear and the artist is able to be identified clearly.

• Whilst creating the digipak keep in mind the rule of 3rd’s for composition.

• Be aware of the genre you are representing, use font and images and mis en scene which portrays the genre your artist represents.

• Use colours which may represent your artist style, also make sure it compliments the other visually element.

Don'ts

• Do not put text in front of the artist face.

• Don’t stretch any images, as it looks amateur and ruins quality.

• Don not use over four different colours, don’t use colours which don’t compliment each other or the genre.

• Don’t use font and pictures because you like it always consider the genre.

• Don’t use too many different styles of font.

• Don’t include unnecessary information.
