Computers are expected to be a tool for assisting people to enrich their everyday life. Computation performance was first augmented, followed by the improvement of communication capacity. It's time to provide computer capabilities to help people cultivate their intellectual faculties.

Media research has been carried out for years. Researchers focused on utilizing media. What we should do now is to carefully analyze media itself, resulting in development of well-formed media for further success in media research.

We are going to investigate how media convey the information and affect people - the way of their thinking. As a first step towards this goal, we propose in this paper the analysis and generation of picture books. A scheme of generating a picture from a text script is presented extensively.
