Astronomy - further experimenting

Simply adding the type and image together. Its really starting to take shape in terms of an instant visualisation of astronomy.

Astronomy - Initial design

Well I didn't want to fall into the similar trap of researching loads of secondary work for weeks before touching any people, so i delved straight in and started laying out some work. 

Starting with paper to look at layout I was looking at the relation of type to image for the front cover. As i am not an illustrator, the imagery is very simple but i don't want it to be lost within the design.

This piece is to unfinished for the approach i am going for but its a good starting point for how the front cover of the information book can draw impact.

From this initial crafted cover i developed it in illustrator for soemthing a bit more finalised. However this is to clean and crisp for the approach i want. Iv made it all digital and lost the crafted feel. Aiming for somewhere in between .
