Unlike many traditional jazz stations which format different styles and eras of jazz into different blocs of programming, The CoolStream prides itself on playing the full gamut of artists as one.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/2″ offset=”vc_col-lg-5″][vc_column_text]I wanted to create a concept for the station that reflect the eclectic drive of the station. I thought there was no greater way to do this ultimately than to present a mosaic of covers, the colors of which added to the sense of uniqueness in both the music artist, but in the programming approach of the station itself.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row thb_full_width=”true” thb_row_padding=”true”][vc_column width=”1\/2″]\t

Selecting the best examples took some time, but was worth it. There will likely be rotation walls of covers, based on all the cover combinations that were possible for this project.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row thb_full_width=”true” thb_row_padding=”true”][vc_column width=”1\/3″][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/3″][vc_column_text]\n
