Production: More changes to my listings

This is a screenshot of the changes I have now made to the top of my listings double page spread.  I have moved the tagline into the centre of the page, so it can easily be seen by the audience when they look at the masthead.  Furthermore, I have included a summary of what my documentary is about at the top. I have made the change of making it into more of a slanted position, it fills the space slightly more and is also a lot more interesting to look at. 

After reviewing the conventions of some other listings magazines, I have chosen to include a small author's note at the very bottom of the double page spread. This is a screenshot of the product straight from InDesign, which means that is why there are lines still over the top of the text.
I needed to research how I was going to place an image inside a circular shape, as this is something that isn't obvious on InDesign. Therefore, I used a YouTube video that told me exactly how to carry out these changes.

This is a screenshot of the YouTube tutorial that I found. She walked the tutorial through step by step, so I found it easy to follow. It was slightly fiddly to get the picture in line with the while circle behind. but once I worked out the technique it was easy to do.



I have been in contact with Charlotte from my focus group, as I wanted her opinion on the writers note I have included at the bottom of my double page spread. 
Her feedback was positive, and I have decided I am definitely going to leave this part in as it is a popular convention of already existing magazines.
