Abstract

The motivation for creating images in fictional books needs to definite the meaning of “imagination” in text and image. Here imagination is synonymous with the image. So, understanding the relationship between “literary image” and “visual image”, based on meaning< is the main question in this research, which has been done by descriptive-analytic method. At first, in this paper, has been tried to explain the theories of “assortment”, “analog”, “harmony and deviation”, “audience oriented” and “agreement”, by overviewing the different theories on the relationship between text and image and then based on these questions:
1-How is the role of meaning in illustrating of story books?
2- Which visual elements could be attached to the text by illustrator?
Has been noticed to the role of "meaning" in the relationship between text and image and came to the conclusion that the capabilities of visual expression, depends on the specific connection between the tangible and intangible factors. Because "form" as "image" hides "meaning" then illustrator, intend to split, usual realistic forms and by going to the allegorical figures and abstract forms, according to the text, to reveal the hidden meaning in the story. Kind of illustration dependence to the visual tone of the text, can explain image expression capability, in displaying meanings. On the other hand, filling the empty spaces of the text, with the images, is the other way in illustrating fiction books.
