Thinking about the book

Although I may not have time to actually produce the book, I want to at least design it and submit the spreads that would appear in it.
I think of the book as a companion piece to the posters I am producing, so I thought it might be quite interesting to go for an aesthetic that mimics exhibition and museum catalogs:

I don't think I know enough about graphic design to accurately replicate all the nuances of design that are going on in these examples, but I can at least take inspiration from the use of white space and the placement of text.

I'm pretty into the idea of having the poster image spill across the centerfold since the asymmetric design is quite interesting. The title text would probably have to be turned on its side or moved across to the second page since the patterned nature of some planets means the text could not be overlaid onto the image(as demonstrated with Uranus).

In the third image is a small caption that states "Jupiter, Screenprint on somerset paper 18"x24". I like the idea of the book being like an artists' book and having captions for each image, but all the captions would be the same, making it read a bit silly.

What is a really fun idea though, is having the Sun consume the whole of its own spread in order to emphasize its size. This is an idea I think I can hold onto regardless of the design of the rest of the pages.
