Daytime: The time between dawn and dusk; the day as distinct from evening or night
Nighttime: The time between sunset and sunrise.
I started to research the stages of the moon over each month and how the moon changes in the sky. I thought this imagery once adapted would look really nice over my three posters. The moon is something everybody sees when they look out of their window at night and the sun is seen by everybody when they look out of the window during the day.
