Description

In this book a leading researcher and artist explores how we see pictures and how they can communicate messages to us, both directly and indirectly by making allusions to objects in space or to stored images in our minds. Originally published in 1990, Dr Wade provides fascinating examples of pictures that communicate hidden messages, either by implying something else, or by a shape or portrait which is carried covertly within another design.

He analyses image processing stages in vision, demonstrating that the various stages may be related to styles in representational art.

He shows how the way we have been taught to look at and recognise objects, affects the way we see them.

The book lavishly illustrates with original examples of visual allusions and includes detailed practical advice on how photographers and designers can create them.

Essential reading for photographers, designers, artists, people in film and television, and anyone involved in visual science , visual communication and advertising.
