The objective of this study is to investigate the picture book
as a form of communication. The investigation comprises both a
theoretical and a practical approach.
An extensive literature survey was undertaken, publishers interviewed
and visits undertaken to process and printing houses
to establish the methods and approaches that are currently
employed to produce a picture book.
The theoretical formulation forms the background and motivation
to the practical aspect of the study. The practical component
entails the actual conceptualization, design, illustration and
publication of a picture book. The possibilities and constraints
imposed on the illustrator, comprising all the elements
that influence and shape the communication process, are presented
and discussed - firstly in theory and then in direct reference
to the picture book which is bei:1g illustrated.
The theoretical and practical components of this study combine
to show up the picture book as a unique art and literary form.
The manner in which successful communication is achieved through
the effective utilization of all the processes and elements that
combine to form the picture book is demonstrated. This study
emphasizes that the illustrator should get to know and use all
possibilities and restrictions to their full advantage to create
an effective, unique interpretation and expression in picture
book form. / Thesis (MA (Beeldende Kunste))--PU for CHE
