Ani Difranco Book Cover

 The artist I chose is Ani Difranco.  This was an easy choice. This amazing woman not only creates beautiful, empowering music, she also built her own empire with her talent, ambition, and drive to do it on her own.  She started her own label, Righteous Babe, when she was 19 and has hosted a number of underground artists major labels shy away from.  Ani's lyrics are politically and socially profound, but also emotionally geared through past relationships and experiences. I have been listening to Ani for 20 years, and her music never fails to amaze me. She has never let the system eat her alive, she is commander in chief of her one woman army. She has something to say, and you can't help but listen

 

  For my book cover, I want to put Ani on the front. I am keeping it simple, with a matching background of the picture I am using. I believe she is a powerful being and that picture says everything about Ani that I want to portray. For the spine, I will put the symbol of her record label with the title of the book. The back cover I want to opaque the background of her studio, and layer the Righteous Babe label on top with the words inside of the label with a short description.
