1. What is good? Paul Mitchell - project PDF Concept Statement:
Human space travel is good because it lets us dream beyond our
lives on earth.
2. Initial thoughts defining what is good I settled on the
concept of Being an astronaut is good because I felt if would lead
to a fun and interesting project.
3. Sample of some of the research into spaceflight and
astronauts I pulled off the internet. I quickly found that being an
astronaut is still a very rare thing, but in the near future
commercial space flight will be a reality with the dawning of a
space tourism industry.

Mans scope of space exploration has broadened Slayton; Marine

Carpenter, and Navy The 1950s and 1960s images since the first U.S.
manned space flight in 1961. But the nation can never forget the
original seven pilots Lieutenant Commanders Walter M. Schirra, Jr.,
and Alan B. Shepard, Jr. and research I found was far more who
focused our vision on the stars. In 1959, NASA asked the military
services to list their members By 1964, prime emphasis had shifted
away from flight experience and toward superior academic
interesting to me than the currant who met specific qualifications.
In seeking its first astronauts, NASA required jet aircraft flight
qualifications. Applicants were invited on the basis of educational
background alone. These were the information I found, In my project
experience and engineering training. Height could be no more than 5
feet 11 inches because of limited scientist astronauts, so called

become astronauts.
5. Early design Ideas for a space product
6. First thoughts on space food. Found image of NASA food gave
me inspiration for barcode on final design (left).
7. Ideas for names for my space food product, research into
existing space tourism company names, In the end I chose Rocketfuel
for my product and an existing space tourism company: Virgin
Galactic as I felt using a known brand would add credibility to my
own food brand designs and help the overall clarity of my
concept.
8. Logo development sketching
9. Product logo ideas
10. Product logo ideas
11. Logo tests with different 50s fonts. I asked a few people
and the Bell Gothic and Banco tests were clear favorites of the six
I tested.

designs using Bell Gothic font. These designs lacked the 50s retro
fun I wanted so I swiched to working with the Banco font.

14. Printed testers for logo colours and tag. The tag was far
easier to design as I could use the existing format from logo and
the Bell Gothic font which I had already tested in alternative logo
design.
