Main Task - Music Magazine - Research.

I have been researching different kinds of music magazines that are focused on 50's/60's and early 70's music.

I have found an issue of a magazine called ''Uncut'' (July 2011) in which the issue is focused on the band ''The Small Faces.''
(http://www.google.co.uk/imgres?q=60s+music+magazines&um=1&hl=en&sa=N&biw=1024&bih=677&tbm=isch&tbnid=0Bo_NbPBMBNt_M:&imgrefurl=http://www.wotyougot.com/03-06-2011/uncut/small-faces-cover-july-2011-issue/&docid=jQqSY19-BY1EmM&imgurl=http://www.wotyougot.com/pictures/small-faces-cover-uncut-magazine-july-2011.jpeg&w=337&h=480&ei=QuO6TvX0KcrV8gOGlryvBw&zoom=1&iact=hc&vpx=795&vpy=175&dur=5559&hovh=268&hovw=188&tx=165&ty=134&sig=101262864471997979583&page=1&tbnh=153&tbnw=106&start=0&ndsp=14&ved=1t:429,r:8,s:0) This is the image.

I want to make my magazine more psychedelic than this and I want it to apply to anyone who enjoys the music of Janis Joplin, Pink Floyd, The Rolling Stones, Jefferson Airplane... That kind of thing.
I will be making a survey asking 10-15 people I know what they'd like from a magazine of this nature and whether my two-page should/should not be a (fake) interview from a famous/deceased artist that somehow got lost, or for a new tribute band to the likes of a band like this.

I'd like for my magazine to have a similar layout to the Uncut magazine featured above, but ofcourse with a different title and different colour scheme fitted to the needs of my target audience (more than likely very colourful.)
