Digipack - Insert behind CD

This is the image which I will use behind the CD itself in my digipack. This is another screenshot from the video, which further highlights the performance element of both my music video, and digipack. I have chosen to use the drummer as the drummer of a band is often seen as the 'backbone' of a band and is therefore an integral part of the album process. In addition, there is a common theme of circles on a drum kit, the bass drum, toms etc., and this will mean that this image will work with the CD outline on the case.

Digipack - Insert

This screenshot from my music video is the image which I will use for the insert in my digipack. I have chosen this image because it represents the integrity of the band as it shows one of the main contributing factors of the band itself (Lead Guitar). The monochrome effect on the image also means that it fits the house style of the rest of m y digipack.

Digipack - Spine

This is the spine for my digipack. I intend to use this spine on both sides of the digipack for consistency. I have simply used the name of the band: RAMMSTEIN in the same font used on the front cover, to utilise a house style. The grey that is used on the background carries over the monotone feel of the front, and back of the digipack, and is the most predominant grey on the front cover, so that it easily flows between the front, and back of the digipack.

Digipack - Back

This is the first draft for the back of my digipack case. I have kept the font from the front of the pack on the back to keep a consistent theme throughout the digipack, as well as this I have kept the yellow glow around the font itself. In addition to this, I have added the copyright message found on the back of all albums, using The Universal Music Group, as it is RAMMSTEIN's current record label. The colour scheme of the background fits with that of the front, as it is a fully blended picture of the front cover to ensure the house style.

This is the updated back cover of my Digipack. I have moved the track list from the left hand side to the middle, i have done this because it removes some dead space and is more conventional. I have used album backs from bands such as KoRn, Lamb of God and Primus to illustrate this.

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.
