I started experimenting with different sound stream logos using sans serif and serif fonts and seeing how effective each was alongside the illustrations. When I was thinking about these graphics for sound streams cover, contents and double page spread (DPS) I wanted to create doodles that have connotations related to

the pop music genre to help my audience understand what style of music magazine is.

I wanted my masthead to have a hand made quality to match my signature illustrated house style of my magazine. I choose this style because I believe it

give a ‘home made’ feeling that’s relatable to my audience.

When I was thinking about the layout of sound streams cover I decided to create some thicker masthead designs. This is because I wanted to have a variety of mastheads to experiment with when constructing the cover and because I was concerned that the previous hand drawn styles of mastheads may clash with the graphics, not standing out as well as it should on the cover.
