Astro Kit – NASA
Imagine taking a picture of a star, loading that picture into a NASA database and receiving back exact information on the location of that star and the stars and planets that are surrounding that star. Seems impossible right? Not anymore, with AstroKit, star location is not only possible it can be achieved in realtime.
Color Palette
Opacity & Gradients
Although the night sky is somewhat devoid of much color variation to the naked eye, we attempted to create a color palette based on some of the basic colors visible through high powered telescopes in combination with colors visible to the rest us standing on earth looking up. We also employed some interesting gradients and levels of opacity to reinforce the feeling of looking through glass and refracted light. The result is a dream-like design, full of the majestic perspectives mixed with seamless architecture.
Wireframing
Putting the Universe in a Box
Whenever we can, we try to employ high-fidelity wireframes to give our clients not just a view of the proposed organizational structure, but a view into our design thinking as well.

UI Integration
The UI work needed to be as simple as possible to leave room for the “star” of the site, which is the stars themselves.

Interior Pages
Although the interior pages are all about data and research we attempted to carry the engaging style from the homepage through in a way that still pays proper tribute to the night sky and the endless wonderment it instills in all of us.

We could not be more grateful to the NASA project staff on this. Our designers are dreaming about the next opportunity to work with the stars.
