Galaxy Zoo Poster – Improved Greatly by Julia
Several weeks ago, we issued a challenge: re-create the Galaxy Zoo poster in a new way to tell the story of Galaxy Zoo yourself. When I posted this, I wasn’t sure if anyone would find it interesting, but as always, your creativity is amazing. The first submission is in, from Julia, and it is breathtaking. Behold:
Julia’s Galaxy Zoo poster remix (1.2 MB JPG)
I think you’ll agree that this is a big improvement over the text-heavy original, and I think it’s one of the most amazing science posters I’ve ever seen. Congratulations to Julia on an amazing piece of science/art! (Julia, if you’re reading, please say hello in the Comments section.) If anyone else is interested in remixing the poster, send me a message in the forum (I’m zookeeperJordan).

That’s a nice piece of work… big ups & props to you, Julia!
Wow !
Hi Jordan,
Nice surprise to see my poster there!! Thanks for your kind comments. It was an enjoyable Photoshop exercise.
I note you’ve used my “posh” name – others may know me better by my forum name. :0)

Absolutely outstanding graphic !
This really does capture the Galaxy Zoo effort.
So, congratulations to Julia.
I really liked the galaxy shapes pictured in the long bar at the poster bottom. Galaxy Zoo 2 might consider doing a similar treatment for the classification tasks / tutorial. Especially, if the classification task(s) require trying to capture those “in-between” shapes that give so many of us trouble now.

Excellent– my new desktop wallpaper, replacing Mercury in color from the Messenger probe ….
Thanks Julia!
Wonderful. I vote Julia be asked to design Zoo 2 (nothing against the old one, it’s very nice too!)
Well what a nice surprise – thanks for the compliments! It was a useful and enjoyable Photoshop exercise.
Apologies if a similar message is posted – I did send a comment yesterday but it seems to have vanished into the abyss….
Oh – and people may know me better by my forum name :0)
Cheers,
Jules
Excellent job!
Oh so it was you Jules! Nice work! 😉
Congratulations to Julia for a brilliant job which in my opinion should win an Oscar for designs if ever there was one !
Gorgeous poster! Excellent job! It really does a good job of creating a visualization of GZ! 🙂

Wonderful poster! I noticed that Hanny’s Voorwerp is included. I think that’s really cool! Looks great, Julia! 😉

Wow – this is the first chance I’ve had to look at this, but that’s incredible, Jules. I love it. Now I want a copy of your poster as well as the Zoo’s. 🙂 🙂 🙂
(Jules is a great poster-maker, she did the Galaxy Zoo Meet-up poster for us to wave outside Astrofest. Mustn’t forget to bring it along to the Planetarium, although most of us will recognise each other!)
Great design.
