The Do's & Donts
Fonts are essential on a Digipak, apart from the image its one of the first things that will be seen and you Want fonts that stand out, link to the Genre and attract your attention (In a good way). Only choose 2 fonts that you will use continuously throughout the digipak, dont over do Text Effects or use text effects that just dont go with the colours and images and make sure that these two fonts go well together and suit the Genre of your music. Also be aware of the placement of the text, make sure that the text isn't directly over the Artist's face. And try not to use fonts because you like them, keep in mind your genre and the theme of the album.
Be Aware of the colours you use, Don't get to excited and use too many colours that dont match with your image and dont link with your Genre of music. Stick with a maximum of 3 colours that match and go well with the image that your using
Think well and truly about the images that you use, they could be a direct link to the artist and album or a link to the Genre. Ensure that you dont stretch them too wide or too tall (This could loose you marks) and make sure they are in focus. Also be aware of the framing of the images i.e. making the whole image the size of one side of the digipak. Don't over do use of effects, you dont want the album cover to be over bearing, the effects you use should suit the Genre of your album.
Lastly it is essential to name and state the people/company's that are associated with the record label and the album. This involves copyright information, title of the album, artist name, record company logo, website, producers etc...
