Awesome Space Photography
Although I like to think of this blog as a place for creativity, I believe that if it inspires, then it has a place here; so, let me share with you some awesome photographs taken of/in space.
UK Snow From Space
Not quite design, but since the UK has been absolutely caked in snow, I decided that you all deserve a high resolution image, courtesy of NASA.

Layer Cake
Layer Cake is a downloadable illustrator/vector font that you can use , provided by the nice folks at Just-My-Type.
Unlike a lot of modern fonts, this one is a little more ‘out there’ and has a lovely science fiction feel to it.
Graphic Nothing
You can see some truly inspiring design work over at Graphic Nothing. They use colour and negative space heavily to create some wonderful pieces.
International Year Of Astronomy Posters
International Year of Astronomy Posters by self-taught graphic designer, Simon Page.
Heavy use of geometric shapes, complimented by negative space and a thoughtful colour palette.
Old Visions of a High Tech Future
As a fan of sci-fi and of art and design, this appealed to me straight away, a lovely, informative and picture-plenty article over on ‘Pink Tentacle’.
“In 1969, Shōnen Sunday magazine featured a series of illustrated articles entitled “Computopia,” which depicted life in a pleasant future pervaded by computers.”
Skhizein
A wonderful and slightly dark short film about an a meteorite and it’s consequences on one man’s life.
EARTH: The Pale Blue Dot
An inspiring and emotive short film dedicated to the little blue planet most of us take for granted each day. Contains readings from Carl Sagan’s ‘Pale Blue Dot’.
