Graphics and language work towards the common goal of unified meaning. Detailed images help to assist our understanding of language when sophistication lacks, as text compliments the quality of images when the resemblance is absent. Through the study of comics and illustrations, we can gather that realism is the concept that portrays complexity through imagery. Through different methods and techniques of sophisticated imagery, artists can choose to objectify power to emphasize or resemble certain scenes and identities. This allows the viewer(s) to create new value, meaning or perspective from certain objects to have been extended a certain type of abstraction or “new life.” These images must work hand in hand with our imaginations (both as artists and readers) to create meaning, and fill in the gaps of action and agent for us to be engaged. When analyzing images and illuminated texts, we must not draw comparisons between the illustrations and language (visual and verbal), but instead learn to study the relations, the similarities and differences of the two that drive the collaboration and narrative. When comparing photography and language, we must stress the idea that it is a message without a code, meaning they have a relationship with the reality in which they are representing. Although this is contradicted by the idea that photographs are imbedded with and invaded by language as we associate them with it as soon as they are viewed or analyzed. This said, photography is considered both a language, and not. When viewing photography, we create and loose value as we exchange complex ideas between the verbal and the visual. Text can also be used as an instrument in this way to often time give the image independency or associate new meaning.
