Hubble space telescope.

Thinking about which direction to take my project after a few meetings with tutors and a few questions have been raised;

- Why would the launch of the telescope require a publication?
- Would a launch need information and wayfinding?
- With the James Webb telescope not being in operation at the moment what imagery will be used?

These question led me to re think the whole project and start fresh with a more appropriate idea.

With the Hubble telescope in operation for over 20 years now and coming to an end in the next 12 months i decided it would be a better idea to set up an exhibition focusing on the Hubble space telescopes achievements, this will allow me to develop publications for the project and also set up a proposed exhibition giving me the opportunity to design information and way finding, also this project will co-inside with my dissertation, 'Branding within public sectors; why NASA is one of the least funded of government organisations.

I will create two publications for the event, as the exhibition will also have two section, the first focusing on the technical aspects of the space telescope i.e. the mirror, the instruments used within and what they are capable of, the second part of the exhibition will focus on the Hubble's discoveries and images taken in the last 20 years, such as the Ultra deep field, the most distant objects ever seen in the universe.
