碩士 === 國立臺灣師範大學 === 設計研究所 === 97 === The object of this article is to discuss the possibilities of illustration agent between editor and illustrator.There are three main subjects in this study as follows: 1.To understand the cooperation between editors and illustrators. 2. To know the point of view about agent between editors and illustrators. 3. To discuss the possibility of agent system setting in the publishing industry. According to study results, it is difficult to set up agency system in the publishing industry for three main reasons as below:1. The market of publishing is not wide enough in Taiwan. 2. Taiwanese publishing companies are used to traditional methods. 3. It is difficult to establish the relationship of trust between agent and illustrator. Therefore, copyright authorization is a better way for Taiwanese agency system. It can be concluded from this paper that: (1) The editors are more powerful than illustrators to make decisions. (2) Both editors and illustrators agree that agency system will bring more advantages to their job and increase their work efficiency. (3) Illustrators and publisher have their own cooperative method, but picture’s copyright is a new field that they need agent to do. (4) The agency system is a better way for new illustrators to join this market. (5) It is difficult to train an agent in Taiwan publishing industry.
