Polishing the kit & first physical print test

Today I polished the final details of the Space Explorer Kit and added a credits & contact page with all our socials and info.

I also made a small expansion to one of the activity pages. I thought about adding a 30th activity just to round the number, but it felt forced, so I let it go.

Right now the kit has 29 activity pages, plus instructions, samples, and extras, a total of 46 PDF pages. A real kit.

I also printed everything to do a physical check and immediately saw that the astronaut mask was way too small for a kid (though it fit our CPO = chief paw officer perfectly...)

I updated the layout, and the new size looks just right.

Seeing the printed pages made everything feel real. My printer ink is basically gone, but it was worth it: this was the first real draft, and I wanted to feel the weight, the textures, the scale.

Tomorrow I’m leaving for a small weekend getaway. My laptop screen is completely broken (perfect timing), so maybe it’s a sign to stay away from screens for a bit and do more physical work. I’ll take the printed kit with me, play around with the pages, maybe shoot some listing photos, watch things, rest, and find new inspiration.

Tomorrow will definitely be a rest day.
