Q Magazine was chosen as the model for the music magazine flat plan because its layout is structured yet eye-catching. The flat plan incorporates typical magazine features such as the masthead, main cover line, model credit, lead article, barcode, date line, price, main image, skyline/banner, pull quote, left third, cover lines, plug, kicker, and anchorage. After analyzing a magazine cover closely, a flat plan was created for the music magazine front cover.
