书籍简介：

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.

书友短评：

@ Bittersweet 我翻译了这本书，放在简书上了，http://www.jianshu.com/p/1d0b107f2aea @ 逆逆 用很简单的图片和语言介绍了一些基本的平面设计原理 @ WATER MAN http://johnsonsr.spps.org/uploads/molly_bang_how_pictures_work.pdf @ 陈灼 大道至简，值得看一百遍。书后附的练习一定要做一次。 @ 歪我麋鹿辣 简单易读的小书，绘画更重要的是营造一种氛围，一种概念，具体的细节倒不是那么重要了，所谓神似。（或许通过坚持的训练模仿，能做到画和真实物体无异；但能够做到神似却是需要感知能力和领悟能力的，是需要灵性和思考的，是更高明的绘画吧。） @ 小火把在闲逛 理论方面总感觉略浅，但是图示讲解做得很好。喜欢小红帽的那幅画，也喜欢作者对于重力、情感与记忆、空间与时间的阐释；看到最后有点泪目。 @ 款冬君 最开始的例子彻底把我吸引住，然后结合心理学介绍原理。通过颜色、形状、大小、方向和对比的调整去达到构图的最优，传达想要表达的内容。看上去很简单，但很有启发。 @ 秋黎相柳翁 How do you use 3 colors of construction papers, a white paper, a scissor, a glue stick and a pencil to depict the memory of a childhood fear? @ 逍遙水母 循循善诱
