spaceSkull’s storytelling

This collection was made with an idea of beginnings and endings. When we talk about the beginning of things, inevitably we contemplate space itself. As supernovas symbolize both the beginning and the end of a star, human life goes alongside of it.

It’s all about those two definitive points: life and death.

After analyzing the variables, we came up with two illustration concepts full of symbolism. An egg for the birth of things and a skull for its counterpart.

The creative background

To represent death we wanted to use a skull as an iconic symbol full of meanings in a space context. Shortly after a brief connection was made with a brain (inside the skull) and the space expansion itself.

For a long time we’ve thought in different ways to relate the elements proposed in the concept. Unfortunately we always returned to the starting point.

But a simple soup drop on a table surface created the shape that we’re always looking for. By analyzing that shape, a final idea came into our minds and like an explosion our neurons went to space and came back.

We then designed the skull explosion in space with a black t-shirt representing the human mind expansion as well as the universe.
