Out of order, probably.
Experimenting with image/text interaction - how does having an image change the way we see the text? Is a photograph more compelling than an illustration? When dealing with "randomness", it's easy to find patterns - human brains are wired for it, I'm not the only one working with that subject. Any image can be bent to fit to a given context.
Experimenting with different ways to break up text: for another class (Approaching the Book) I took the same paragraph of prose and broke it up six different ways, according to six different rules laid out in this article by Rebecca Hazelton. I plan to do more of this type of experiment in the near future.

thinking about how images "intrude" on the text (or can do so). aerating it, or undermining it, &c &c.
