Music Magazine: Convention Analysis

This is my magazine cover. The conventions I have used that there is the pug in the bottom right of the page detailing a feature that is included in the magazine. The cross head position is also awkward since it doesnt reside at the corner of the page. Insted it is at the bottom of the page which takes space off the picture. Unconventional is that the title takes pressense over the picture due to limitations of my skill with fireworks mean I do not know how to apply the heads over the top of the picture without blacking out the whole text.
