Nice! As a graphic designer myself, I love seeing elements like this wrap around the edges. It creates interaction with the viewer and reminds us that it is not 2-dimensional. I’m not so crazy about the stacked type on the spine, however, but I do love the vintage vibe overall.

Rock and roll was created by a Black woman β€” Sister Rosetta Tharpe.

Known as the Godmother of Rock and Roll, Sister Rosetta Tharpe was a singer, songwriter, and guitarist who served as inspiration for artists like Elvis Presley and Johnny Cash. We honor her as we still feel her influence today.
