碩士 === 國立臺灣師範大學 === 設計研究所在職進修碩士班 === 94 === “Optical illusions” contain interest, humor, contradiction and vision glamour of thinking. “Mimicry” in Nature is the rule that living beings survive. Merely to avoid the sight of the invaders, a Kallima inachis formosana Fruhstorfer evolves into the form of a withered leaf and lifelike color which is an amazing vision experience in nature as well as an artistic and splendid “Optical illusions” picture. The most famous structure of Maurits Cornelis Escher, the Dutch artist of woodcuts and wood engravings, is “Ascending and Descending”. There are ladders that never finish walking, going up and coming down. The picture has made a humor on perspective. “Optical illusions” lead us to enter another world. It seems to enter different worlds again with the exchange of flat surface and space wherein neither transportation nor computer high-tech virtual reality is needed among them. Thus we can gallop freely within our imagination. “Optical illusions” are often applied to the practice of changeful and imaginative designing such as advertisements, posters, and illustration trademarks and so on. “Seeing is not always believing？” National Museum of Natural Science in Taichung has held some thematic optical illusions exhibitions which include experiencing the organic stimulus of practical operation full of interesting vision glamour. The traces of “Optical illusions” are often found in many scientific physics exhibitions. The initial search of this dissertation is to take the children’s picture books as the platform of creation with emphasis not in discussion the origin of optical illusion but how will be the “optical illusion” figures utilization in the children’s picture book design. Children are the main readers of picture books which may be differentiated between the written and non-written reading ways according to the age and the difficulty level. This creation research takes the children’s picture books as the medium, simplifies the design of the optical illusion figures to make easy in the communication explanation which hopes to be conducive toward the children to have the keen power of observation, thinking and creativity to the images, and provides abundant multi-dimensional imagination space.
