The aim of the publication was to communicate our subject in a way that engages an audience. We felt the interactive aspect of a postcard was appropriate.
The postcards as our form of publication were the main element of our display. The playful personal touch to the scientific subject was praised and the mixed languages was also picked up as interesting and a way to subtly suggest the 'space race' including countries such as China.

| Peer Feedback |
My independent publication creation of the leaflet wasn't really noticed alongside the postcards, perhaps because it didn't look obvious as something to open up. I found no feedback on it from peers. It was out of place alongside the postcards and any development of it maybe have acted as a distraction from our main concept of memorabilia and the postal communication. I felt it was worth an attempt to include something different and informative, but we all agreed the postcard concept was the one to follow.
The silver foil prints were presented alongside our postcards as well, but not intentionally as part of the 'publication'. We wanted to include it as a preview of our intentions and experimentation. Peers praised its visual appeal but it was understandably not understood as part of the table collection. The praise was encouraging in our consideration for development however.
Peer feedback and follow up discussion created new ideas for considered development such as colour scheme play, foiling logos, holagraphs and stamps to make our postcards look more official.
Due to time constraints, we knew we were unable to follow up on all these propositions.
