Synopsis
Everyone knows that a picture tells a thousand words. But what about the elements that make up a picture? Using the tale of Little Red Riding Hood as an example, Molly Bang uses boldly graphic artwork to explain how images--and their individual components--work to tell a story that engages the emotions: Why are diagonals dramatic? Why are curves calming? Why does red feel hot and blue feel cold? First published in 1991, Picture This fans will welcome the new edition's striking redesign and introduce its insights to many other artists and art appreciators alike.

    A used CD was purchased and shipped on 4-14 and delivered by USPS Media Mail on 4-17. Item received was like new as described in the listing and was professionally packaged for shipping. Case was sealed in a plastic sleeve and shipped in a cardboard box for protection. Disc, booklet, and case were like new, a very cared for item. The condition of CD received, the care in packing, reasonable price, and fast shipping and delivery made for an excellent purchasing experience with Lake Country Books.

    A stunning book! Photos of Sasha dolls serve as muses for revisiting and reimagining a trove of works by poets from all over the world. Volume is in perfect condition, was well packaged, and arrived quickly. A remarkable find. I could not be happier with this find and this seller. Wonderful!!

  • "Picture This"-Illuminates the core values of the visual designer

    This book is a novel and simple way to illustrate the design concepts that enable artists to communicate emotions in narratives. It presents the core values of abstraction: color, shape, size, balance, movement, dynamics, etc.
