During the group meeting held with Brian on Thursday I discussed how I had become interested in the space between the text and images in picture books. Brian advised me to look through a previous students dissertation to increase my awareness of terms. Today I have read the dissertation written by Liga Puida, the focus of the research was based around suitable text-image models.
The two types are interdependent and independent which both offer different methods for the reader to gain information. The interdependent images either compliment or enhance the text, where as independent can contradict, set moods or emotions and often leave gaps for the readers to fill in themselves. I have realised that all of these methods can be used within a single story, each may be suitable to certain scenes. This type of information is something touched upon in the analytical framework but not in a great a depth as this dissertation. Becoming aware of the terms used and how they work may come in useful when experimenting with what could be best to portrait each scene within the story. Considering how I want the reader to feel or what I want them to know might be guided with decisions on such facts, gaining this type of knowledge can only benefit my own work. The notes taken from this dissertation are shown below, they will most likely be used as and when required throughout the rest of this project.
