'Well,' a Hong Kong-based design studio, started a creative project that involves designing a skull illustration every day. Each skull adheres to a particular concept or product's imaging. They can be inspired by almost anything.
The studio has so far compiled a collection of skeleton heads that are designed in the likes of random things like cheese, bird cages, the Apple logo, a billiard ball and a globe.
The skulls are minimally portrayed on a blank, colorful canvas, however they are extremely whimsical and truly draw-in the viewer. They keep you intrigued by making you want to guess what they're actually embodying. Not to mention, it's generally entertaining to see a skull in the form of a rainbow-filled sky.
