Representation/ direct address eval

Looking back at my preliminary task, I feel that I have learnt and progressed a great amount in comparison with my school magazine to my full product of the music magazine.

Direct address - making the audience feel they are participating in what is
happening, eg newscasters use direct address as if they are
speaking directly to the viewer.

During my preliminary task I had a good understanding of representation for target audience, but struggled with direct address by connecting with the audience. For example eye contact is key when captivating a reader if direct address is to be achieved, yet the photography on my school magazine cover does not have this aspect and may be a downfall.
Whereas, when producing my full product I gained a wider idea of representation and a better understanding of direct address, especially in the music industry.
