Digipack - Front

This is my first draft for my digipack for the single 'Engel'. I have utilised both the Rammstein logo, and wordmark to advertise the artist, which is an obvious convention of any digipack, regardless of genre. I have also played around with the English translation of 'Engel', (Angel). I have done this by adding angelic wings to the lead singer, to isolate him as important within the band, as the lead singer is often, stereotypically, the most important, and recognisable member of any band. Furthermore, I have given three members of the band halo's to further add to the angelic theme of the digipack, and the song itself. However, I have put devil horns of the drummer to createa juxtaposition within the cover, this is assisted by the drummer being the only band member not looking into the camera, therefore, showing a darker personality.



This is an updated version of my digipack. I have removed the bands logo in the background, and replaced the workmark with an actual font, found on www.dafont.com . I have also reduced the saturation on the halo's and the horns, to give less contrast on the cover. The band's wordmark has been made larger to incorporate the removal of the logo, and to advertise the band.

 Here is proof that the font I used, exists, and is not a jpeg file from google

This is my third draft of my digipack front cover. I have changed the font of the album title 'Engel' to make it fit with the conventions of Industrial Metal more, whilst fitting with the band's font scheme. Furthermore, I have added a yellow glow to both texts to make them stand out against the monochrome background. The yellow used is also the same colour as the halo's used on the album cover. As well as this, I have also removed the halo from the word Engel to fit with the new font used.

The only change made to this draft from the previous one, is that I have transformed the size of 'RAMMSTEIN' to make sure that the golden 'glow' fits within the boundaries of the digipack size

In this most recent draft of the front cover of my digipack, I have added a 'Parental Advisory' sticker to keep within stereotypes of the Metal genre.
