The following image is by Massey
University design student Claudia
Bergsdorf. Her idea is based on
comparing books to old attics, in
that they are often forgotten about
but when visited are full of
surprises and hidden treasures.
The following image is by Massey
University design student Holly
Slade. Her idea is based on the
analogy that real life is like a
prison and books allow us to escape
from it.
The following image is by Massey
University design student Jasmine
Wong. Her idea is based on the
analogy that books are
like magic carpets.
They can take you wherever you
want to go.
Thank you to Mike McAuley, Subject Leader,
Visual Narrative, College of Creative Arts,
Institute of Communication Design,
Wellington Campus, Massey University, for
obtaining students’ permission to use these
images. Please check back soon for more
images, which form part of Mike’s PhD
research into written words and the
processes students go through in interpreting
them into pictures. The text students had to
illustrate was two paragraphs from an
Arthur Conan Doyle essay titled 'Through
the Magic Door'. Students were asked to
summarise the text into a few sentences and
then describe it to a similar situation. The
theoretical background relates to 'analogical
reasoning' and how it can be used as a
creative tool.
