style of music magazine 2: 'alternative 80s'

idea no.2
my second idea is pretty much the exact opposite of my first, and something i, personally (wish i had but) haven't seen in any shops or newsagents. my idea is to create a new magazine about old music. now, of course there are magazines who do talk about old bands and artists but only ever briefly. this is completely understandable, as obviously it's the newer bands and artists they want to promote but i want to cater for those who appreciate the old stuff and give them at least one magazine where they know if there was to be a recommended song section inside, it would only contain songs from the early 80s through to the 90s. 
examples of music it would include:

the style of magazine:

i think that for the style of magazine for this idea, i would want to stick with the 80s theme. i would possibly edit the pictures used on the cover and in the article to make them appear more grainy and older looking. I would try and style the band/artists featured in/on the magazine in 80s themed clothing, hair and make-up making sure to avoid a costume-like look. one problem with this idea however, is deciding who to put on the front. i would obviously have to take a new photo and i can't travel back in time. so whether i would include bands and artist, who are maybe like modern-day equivalents of the 80s artists that i want to include, is something i would have to look into.
