Hi everyone,

As some of you would know in my 'real'life I am a teacher. This term in Science we are studying 'Spinning in Space'. So things like what causes day and night, looking at the Earth, Sun and Moon etc.

Right at the end of the unit I would like my kids to create a trivia like board game where they can move around a board and have spaces where they can have questions or things like that.

I have tried to design a base board that they could work from, something with planets etc. on it. But due to my complete lack of any artistic ability whatsoever everything I try to create look pants.

So I was wondering if one of the many incredible artists who frequent here would be willing to create one for me. I would be happy to compensate someone for the time they spend doing it.

It would need to fit on an A3 piece of paper. Have a space theme and have between 25-30 spaces on it to move pieces around.

If anyone is interest let me know either here or via email.

You need to speak to Mr MPL3D, he can give you any view of the universe from any angle, in fantastic Shader-enabled glory. His application is just stunning.

Why not grab space images of Google? I've done that plenty of time for my space games, I've also grabbed different images for the board games I make as my artistry skills are also pants!

I reject your reality and substitute my own...

Nickydude's suggestion works too because for school use falls under the fair use clause for copyright, so anything that's copyrighted can be used freely as long as it's for educational purposes.
