Children's Books discussion

I really fond of simple graphic books. Those who combine text and picture seamlessly.
I really like to ask u what is the place of precision in "picture books art"?

Can you give some examples? I'm not sure what you mean.

"The giving tree"for example. There's an entire blog (It's not in English, though) which analyzes every page and explains it's layout; Why the tree's branches cut" the frame. How the picture gives more information 4 the text etc/

Hmm. Still I don't really understand your question.

Most picture-books rely on the pictures to help tell the story. At the very least the pictures are meant to set the tone of the story. Often they are indispensable to understanding the action & themes, also.

I think many picture books were made like this (which is wrong)
1- The writer wrote the text.
2- The illustrator made a text afterwards.
3- Än empty space" was found for the text.

in "The giving tree" u can see how it"s altogether. It's common in books that the author is also the illustrator. like the little prince for example.

I think you mean the overall presentation of picture books, and how the writing works with the illustrations.
??
Sometimes it's just a style thing.
There is no rule that says the illustration has to flow into/ around the writing or visa versa.

Another reason might be money.
If an author hires an artist to do simple drawings or more involved, gets you a very different presentation.
:-)

As an artist myself, I would prefer to to know the whole story and work closely with a writer. This would definitely be a more costly way, but ultimately lead to more polished final product.
IMO

I, too, think the beauty of great picture books lies in the marriage of art and text. The piece on The Giving Tree sounds interesting.

If it's helpful, I can comment a little on the process I experienced as a writer who does not illustrate. My text was laid out in page spreads by my editor at Random House. Then the illustrator was selected by the publisher, and she submitted sketches that showed where the words would go. The art director and editor worked with the illustrator on layout.

While picture book artists and writers are not usually in communication about a project, I think editors and art directors do a remarkable job of making beautiful books. I was delighted by how the emotion of my story was conveyed by the illustrator.
