Getting in gear

Our newest studio project involves carving randomly assigned books. I recieved a biography about American billionaire Andrew W. Mellon, which has only one image but the vintage look and feel of the pages make up for it. Because I have only words to guide me in the design process, I have to create my own shapes and images. 

After many failed ideas I finally came up with one I am excited about. The end result will be a (much neater) combination of the following two designs that I created in my physics book. Which I have to say felt quite satisfying to cut up.

I am now trying to determine if integrating text into my design would enhance or destroy it.
