Fillos

[ffutures]

I want to put filler illustrations into Flatland (the novel, not the game) at three or four points where chapters end awkwardly near the bottom of a page and I don't want to start another in the same column. I want to make it clear that they aren't part of the book, but I don't want them jarringly obtrusive.

Some sort of monochrome fractal (maybe something like a tiled mosaic sort of thing) seems the best bet, e.g.




reduced to fit at the bottom of a column.

Any suggestions, or alternatives?

None of the points where I want to do this have particularly exciting quotes. They're just places where the chapter break doesn't fit easily into the column format.

It doesn't have to be from the same page. It just shouldn't be from later in the book.

The idea is that the reader will stop on the larger text and read it to get the flavor of the book. But for e-books it doesn't really apply.
