Hubble and The Naked Gun
Cover and infographics for the non-fiction debut by astronomer Ruth Grützbauch
Edwin Hubble – Tuning-Fork, Dark Matter
Status
Ruth Grützbauch is an astronomer who operates a mobile pop-up planetarium that she transports in a cargo bike. In her book, she tells the story of the cosmos for the first time as one of the galaxies and intertwines it amusingly and excitingly with her own biography.
Additionally, we learn about the significance of Hubble and the Naked Gun, and where we can find a Quantum of Solace in the Atacama Desert.

Task
We were asked to develop the cover for the book and an independent illustration style for the infographics. The infographics were to present connections in an entertaining way and deepen the information level emotionally.

Why is there something and not nothing?
The collage-like combination of diagrams, key facts, and real images creates a unique visual language that is found in every infographic in the book. The challenge was to visualise abstract terms and contexts with images that entertain while also explaining the connections.
