International Year of Astronomy 2009 Posters

international-year-of-astronomy-2009-header
Here are some retro style posters which I have created for the International Year of Astronomy which is this year (2009). Rather than go for a modern sci-fi highly photoshopped image I have gone for a more retro feel with posters that you might of expect to see on an old astronomy book back in the 60s and 70s.

I initially designed these as self-promotional works but word gets around and last week I received an email from the IYA 09 that they thought the posters were great and would like to use them for their promotional work - this was awesome and I of course said yes.

13″ x 19″ / 18″ x 24″ / 24″ x 36″ (limited) print now available to buy

Is there a way to buy the whole set and save $ a bit?

Simon Page November 19th, 2009

Not yet for the whole set but if you spend $80 (which is the equivalent of 2 13×19 prints) you get free delivery in the US and 50% of shipping everwhere else.

[...] Simon Page created some wonderful retro style posters for the International Year of Astronomy which is this year (2009). Rather than go for a modern sci-fi highly photoshopped image he has gone for a more retro feel with posters that you might of expect to see on an old astronomy book back in the 60s and 70s. [...]
