An introduction to the principles of visual perception. The text covers: memory and association; space, time and colour; illusions and ambiguity; and personality factors. The text is complemented with illustrations from disparate media, including the work of photographers such as Edward Weton, Henri Cartier-Bresson, August Sander and Barbara Morgan, as well as digital images and popular advertisements. The author demonstrates how the eye organizes information through a wide variety of images such as photographs, paintings, moving images and animation. Although addressed to photographers and graphic designers, this book is intended for anyone seriously concerned with the shaping or making of visual messages and visual environments.
