Moon Phasesby ~Izzabell

I work at a planetarium and for one of our shows, we talk about the moon. I always have to draw up a diagram on the chalkboard and one day I decided that I was going to make it prettier.

When I looked at the original drawing, the style that seemed correct was similar to an old diagram of moon phases drawn in ink on old paper.

The only things I didn't make myself are the fonts, which I got at da font [link] I made this about memorial day weekend. Since then, I converted the fonts into objects so I don't quite remember their names (I know, I know...bad graphic designer! You should know better!) I might try looking through the fonts later...

Another thing that I didn't make myself were the splatter. I got the splatter from some brush package. I don't remember if i got it from a free site or here. Either way I picked the splatter that i liked the best and made a new image in photoshop and put a new splatter on each document. After I picked all the splatters, I brought it into Illustrator and lived traced everything.

This is gorgeous! Just letting you know though, waxing and waning are switched. Waning is when the moon is going towards a new moon, and waxing is when it's going towards a full moon.

I know what waxing and waning means. . The chart is supposed to be read from right to left. This is how we are told to draw the diagram at the Planetarium that I work at. Thanks for the comment though. I double checked just in case I did have something messed up.

Oh really?! Well thank you very much for the support and for showing off my work! If anyone wants to buy it, I do have it available for a print and I wouldn't mind selling it outside of deviant art.

As an astronomer I always love things that educate people about the night sky. The design is very antique and simple. I love it!

Thanks! The director at my planetarium said that he might have it printed off and have it displayed.
