Rock digipaks and front covers are very similar to heavy metals e.g showing the band in a sort of hardcore fashion with great colours behind them, or showing the band performing with a great atmosphere, they are very similar to heavy metal album covers apart from most aren't Satanic.
This is Foo Fighter's album cover which is very interesting because obviously its a plain background in which a mixture of faces of the members of the band are shown in various colours mixed in together in the middle, and Dave Grohl's face can be seen a number of times, maybe to indicate that he's the main singer/ member of the band. But this lay out is very impressive considering the faces and the font for the band name and title works very well and contrasts in colour and the title is in fact brilliant as it corresponds with the main picture, 'wasting light', even though it shows the band in many different lights.
Again this is a very impressive album cover from Kasabian, showing the main band member singing in different rotations throughout the picture which works very well as the cartoon version of him blends in with the black background as he has black hair, then there is a white part in the middle where the band name and title are written in black and red.
This is The Strokes album cover which is definitely a contrast from the other two album covers I have analysed simply because this one has a white background, not a black one and each band member is allocated their own slot on the album then their band name is displayed in a very cool font in red and black.
