Design: Single cover representing the trauma gained as a child.
Best ironisch is a song that talks about not voicing your struggles, trying to protect yourself but the irony is the damage that it eventually does.

Strategy: The cover features multiple scans of a baby picture of the artist of the song.
In the photo you can see how a parental figure lights a cigarette placed in the child's mouth.

The irony in the photo already represents the depth of the song. By using mixed media, a feeling of rawness is invoked. By burning several layers of the photo a connection is formed between the lit match and the papers being burned. The burned papers in addition represent the fire that is going on inside the mind of the artist. The rawness and pain of the song is connected again with the visuals of the single-art.

Finally, the burned parental advisory explicit content warning is the truest form of irony, as a parental figure is seen lighting a cigarette. Starting all of the problems.
