Experimenting with a vision idea - traditional mediums

Using graphic pencils and the Franklin Gothic book typeface I smudged the graphite to the right to show blurriness, loss of vision and also movement.

I then scanned the piece in using the A2 scanner.
The contrast of the graphite reacts to the paleness of the white A2 paper, which allows the coarseness of the graphite to smudge and create a dragging effect.
Using threshold on photoshop  I have darkened the graphite lines to show the movement as a solid block colour. I feel this represents movement and also blurriness/double vision at the same time, which are two traits I have now chosen to represent Tom, Blurriness due to his need to rely on glasses, and movement due to the fact he would like to be less trusting, so he should move away from certain people.

I have an idea of how I can progress this design forward, and I feel it will make an effective piece of typography which represents Tom, and is also aesthetically pleasing.
