Critique: 20/10 book covers

My biggest obstacle during this assignment was coming up with 20 different covers for one book. I didn't feel very passionate or inspired by any of the options.

The book I ended up choosing was Mary Louise Smith: Republican Matriarch.  I felt a  stab of GIRL POWER after reading the description and felt as though it was the only possible choice for me.   For those of you who don't know, Mary Louise Smith is the only woman to be Chair(wo)man of the Republican National Committee.   The book is about her influence on the party and moderate views which included support for gay marriage and pro-choice for women.

Here is a sneak peak of some of my ROUGH ideas for the final book cover:

I hand drew a few others but you'll see those in class tomorrow!
