Ancillary Products: Do's and Dont's

Do's and Donts of ancillary products are fairly simple:

Do's

1. Stick to two clear fonts maximum.
2. Stick to three colours maximum.
3. Use clear photos that are in focus.
4. Follow the rule of thirds for composition.
5. Include the stereotypical ancillary qualities such as a barcode, date, copyright information, title of the album, artist name, record company logo, website and artist website.

Dont's

1. Use unnecessary effects. 
2. Stretch images to fit the panel.
3. Place text across the face of the artist.
4. Use fonts simply because you like them.
5. Feel the need to have photos on every panel.
