READ! IMPORTANT: EXPLENATION OF PURPOSE

Sir Zaf didn't quite understand what my purpose of making this magazine was [no offence sir :)]

I have tried to make a magazine which is made back in time, in the year 1984. No, there were no such technologies as today in that time, but I have tried to make it look as real and a-like as possible as an 80's magazine, as I wanted to do something different. 
That is the reason why I have made the price 0.75, which's worth is today around 2 pounds. The images contain effects which have made them look old with an old quality, also the images in the magazine are black and white to give it an old effect. 
The contents are also from the 80s with upcoming artists in that time. Also, the year my magazine is published is 7 years after Elvis died, so people will still have talked a lot about him as he died not a very long time ago, which is why I have made the coverstory about an icon imitating Elvis and the king of Rock&Roll. 
Also the audience I have chosen activities which young adults took place in that time, such as going to concerts, instead of what people now do (facebook, internet, etc...) 

So: my magazine is a replica of a magazine that is published in 1984
It is NOT a special edition published in this time and though I have used technologies from this time, I have tried to NOT show that
