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.

每个人都知道，一张照片能说明千言万语。但是，构成图片的元素又是什么呢？莫利-邦以小红帽的故事为例，用大胆的图形艺术解释了图像--它们的各个组成部分--是如何讲述一个吸引人的情感的故事。为什么对角线是戏剧性的？为什么曲线能使人平静？为什么红色让人觉得热，蓝色让人觉得冷？本书于1991年首次出版，Picture This的粉丝将欢迎新版的引人注目的重新设计，并将其见解介绍给其他许多艺术家和艺术欣赏者。
