Do's and Don't of Design {Research}

In class we covered some things to bare in mind when doing design work and some things to avoid. Sticking to many of these rules will make our designs look professional and help us avoid producing bad work.


Do:
Use appropriately styled images
Use appropriately sized images
Use focused images
Use appropriately sized text
Use a font appropriate to the genre
Choose and appropriate colour palette
Stick to a colour palette
Use appropriate industry logos and conventions
Think about the composition of different items of text and images


Don't:
Stretch images, leaving them blurry and unfocused
Abuse Layer styles
Obscure the artists face
Abuse filters, anything that alters the image must be appropriate for the genre
Think you should just put a photo on every panel
