When considering the style and look of your work perhaps you should consider amongst the options a retro approach? There has been a huge 80s turn in contemporary culture, from the music charts to the cinema screens, which this intriguing article (I've long argued a similar point and wholeheartedly agree with the analysis) puts down primarily to the age of the creatives and executives behind the media. The folk in control now are looking back to the 80s as 'their' age - the era when they were adolescents. It'll take 20-30 years but the noughties and then the tens will experience a similar retro boom in time, perhaps fuelled by some of you - just with inferior music and fashions!
From
TisEng to
Son of Rambow, not to mention
Ashes to Ashes, movie versions of
The A-Team, re-makes of
Battlestar Galactica and horror icons such as
Nightmare on Elm Street, the 80s revival is finally here!

For today’s movie moguls it was the decade that rocked their world and they are certainly not going to let us forget it
