Bang, Molly. 2000. Picture This: How Pictures Work. New York: SeaStar Books.
Editorial Review: 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? This work demonstrates how visuals communicate complex ideas with efficiency and potency.
