pear / issue 2 design

The original outer space cover design is as follows:

The only change applied here was making the background a darker, deep blue/black as opposed to off black. This makes the colours of the characters pop and shows the depths of space.

As there is no current content for the magazine, new content had to be developed. This issue will take a lot longer to create due to this. For the colour scheme of this issue I felt having the black starry background should feature throughout the magazine, but I didn't want it to overpower the entire design. This issue starts off with an illustrated version of our solar system spread over 4 pages, then moves onto information about each of the planets:

The next spread is a developed version of a game from issue 1 that wasn't included in the re-design. I felt it would be more fitting to a space theme as there could be different planets to represent the spaces rather than just coloured circles. 

Other spreads following the space theme include:
