I discovered this guy and his astronomy posters which, despite starting out as a self-initiated project, were discovered by the International Year of Astronomy organisation and ended up being used by them.
Even though they are more on the graphic design side of things, I really like them, particularly the way each image has its own composition but can be taken as a set just by the consistent type treatment.
It made me realise that the ideas that I had for my posters were really boring and needed sprucing up.
I've decided that I want each poster to be a full bleed design which allows me to convey the character of the planets more easily, as I'm not just relying on the planet themselves - I have the whole frame to play with. The characteristic of the personality that I portray will be linked to the short text on the poster (i.e., Venus' heat, portrayed by fiery brush strokes and Mars' dust etc.)
