This was a class assignment I just completed. I was hoping to see if anyone would be able to offer suggestions so I can improve it for my portfolio.
I appreciate all of your help!

First off - good job. Impressive for a student imo. The problems I see - like qwerty (who's never wrong, btw) - are mostly text related. The justified text - that only belongs in a newspaper or similar publication. Use that with discretion (not on this piece - go flush left). The hyphenation. A piece like this I turn hyphenation off altogether - there are better ways to make the text fit. The all caps "WHAT THE" - again - use all caps with discretion (preferably nowhere).

Besides those, you could color the subheads (VISIBLE VS. INFRARED, etc...) to add a little spice. You might also try putting some color behind that 3D art to give it a little depth. - a light circular blend peeking out from the edges perhaps or maybe some texture? I don't know - play with it. VERY minor issues... the text block is a little tight to the moon and so are the "visible wavelengths" text and the "infrared images" text block. The extension thing from the Webb Telescope is hard to see too - you can fudge the color lighter for readability as opposed to realism. But again - overall - well done.

Just a note - when you get out there and you're working, spend a year or two concentrating on the ins and outs of typography. It makes a big difference in your work - well worth the effort.

- Reduce the size of main image to give it some white space.
- Allow some leading to texts, it's too compact.
- And why black color in waves in bottom? Try another color adjacent to orange or white.

By the way nice creative.
