A little piece of my childhood died making this, 9 just seemed like a perfect number. Now the rhyme is "My Very Easy Method Just Speeds Up Naming". Naming what?

The idea I had was this to be a high school scientific resource from the 50s/60s, now updated to remove Pluto

Anyway, made with copying, resizing, burning, bluring, cloning. The usual suspects, nothing fancy.

Edit: I cleaned it up a little and removed the text as I felt the Pluto message to be stronger this way. (1 year and 233 days ago)

Clever and amusing. The planets need more shading to appear less flat and more like 'marbles' in the box. The back half of Saturn's rings should be inside the box bottom. (I like the slits in the box cover for the front half of the rings.) The labeling on the cover side is extremely bland [euphemism for 'boring']. Something shorter like "The Planets in a Box" spread across the entire front in colored, kid-friendly type would be more appealing. Reply »

Great work author.
My only suggestion would be that Uranus has rings too.

Pluto should still be a planet IMO Reply »

Love it! Did you consider taking the balck out from the centre of Saturn's ring? s oyou could see the box behind it instead of space? Reply »

Edited a little (hope thats okay!), thanks everybody for your crits and comments. I need to work on my ability to shade.

itgik, I hated Uranus for having rings after I did Saturn, but they are comparitivly mild so I decided not to include them . I agree with Pluto, keeping it for old times sake, but damn I didn't know how many other Pluto sized objects there are: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:EightTNOs.png
