Do's and Dont's for digipak covers/Magazine adverts

Do: 

Clear font
Appropriate sizes for: 1.images, 2. Font
Clear photos that are in focus
Photo's that are an appropriate shape for composition
Layout that follows the rule of thirds for composition
Use appropriate industry logos and conventions, properly positioned: Date, Copyright,Titles,Artist name, Bar code.
Use 3 convention colour rule and use colour that is appropriate for: 1.Images, 2.Font, 3. Background
Appropriate shape for the page

Don't

Do not put font over artist
do not make it random with pictures and fonts put anywhere
Use font simply because you 'like it'
Use layer styles
Do not stretch images, this will make them out of focus
Feel you need a separate photo on every panel - start being creative
