Astronomy - Glen Simonov

These designs by Glen Simonov were designed for April's Global Astronomy Month, they include solar events throughout the year within our solar system.

Very simple designs and little colour that work well in showing the information in a visually pleasing way.  I would really like to see something like this with a more crafted approach as most of the visuals iv seen based on space have been vector. So If I'm going to aim my project at kids aged 8-12 then i think this will be a more successful way to involve them.

Astronomy - Simon Page

Simon Page is a designer who I have been looking at all summer and who has inspired me for my first chosen brief on producing an astronomy pack for kids.

It was his series of posters for the International year of Astronomy 09 that I first saw and I just realised how simple something can be to give a message. These posters are made up of circles and lines and even without the title we understand what the subject matter is about. I think the simplicity of these posters is why they are so successful.

I am aiming to use some of these simple techniques in my own project to connect with kids and connect with them about astronomy
