'Well,' a Hong Kong-based design studio, started a creative project that involves designing a [skull illustration](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/super-sour-scary-skulls) 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](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/exoskyn) that are designed in the likes of random things like cheese, bird cages, the [Apple](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/apple-clear-series) 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.
