Beautifully minimal posters for the International Year of Astronomy 09 by Simon Page

Two days to go before the end of 2009 and now I discover that it was the international year of astronomy. Bloody hell.

Anyway, these beautiful posters were exquisitely crafted for the fun of it by Simon Page and eventually adopted by International Astronomical Union and UNESCO for their promotional work.

Beautifully charming poster — this would be great in any kid’s room

What a fun poster for learning the alphabet! The hiding “M” is a cute touch (which no doubt helps the aesthetics, too).

Nothing is original. Steal from anywhere that resonates with inspiration or fuels your imagination. Devour old films, new films, music, books, paintings, photographs, poems, dreams, random conversations, architecture, bridges, street signs, trees, clouds, bodies of water, light and shadows. Select only things to steal from that speak directly to your soul. If you do this, your work (and theft) will be authentic. Authenticity is invaluable; originality is nonexistent. And don’t bother concealing your thievery—celebrate it if you feel like it. In any case, always remember what Jean-Luc Godard said: “It’s not where you take things from—it’s where you take them to.”

Hello

Most folks who visit random notes seem to hang around for about 9.211 minutes on average.

My name is and I just learned that the hash sign is also known as an octothorp. It's exactly this kind of unnecessary information works its way into conversations that scares people away from me. Not that I am really complaining though…
