Astronomical - Book complete

I decided that for the front cover I would have a big red sun, as I think it's a lot more eye-catching than a diagram of the solar system. It's a bit more representational than the images inside, but I think it's okay to have this sort of contrast existing between the outside and inside of the book.

I'm really happy with how the book looks. Giving the planet pages a white background, while also featuring some full bleed darker spreads in between breaks up the flow in a refreshing way. I also think that having the poster catalogue at the end is a good way to really tie together the print series and the books. It makes the book and prints seem like companion pieces.

It's a shame I don't have time to print and bind it, but I would really like to after submission. I'm not sure exactly how I would go about binding it though. I like the idea of a perfect bind, but perhaps sending it off to a professional printers like Blurb would be the best way to do it.
I drew a mocked up perfect bound version and I think it could look pretty cool:

Very sleek, I'm excited to send this off to a printers. Would be nice to get a couple printed, with one to put in the show.
