COSMOPON is a children’s planetarium where kids embark on an exciting journey through the Universe alongside a fun alien mascot, learning about planets, stars, and galaxies. The project unites science, play, and visual storytelling, transforming the discovery of space into a vibrant adventure. Its goal is to ignite curiosity and a desire to explore the world beyond Earth in children.
Original Project
For this project, I drew inspiration from illustrations created for my alien-themed calendar. Project Link: https://hsedesign.ru/project/6a62afd2787343c192401bb667275ca4
Mascot
Prompt: Create a unique cartoon mascot for a children’s planetarium. Character: a bright green alien with a disproportionately large rounded head, a small body, two thin, curved antennae with round tips, large shiny black eyes, tiny eyebrows, a small mouth, and barely noticeable round markings on the face. In terms of personality, he is curious, friendly, somewhat clumsy, and mischievous.
Depict him in an astronaut’s suit using the project’s original color palette: bright green, deep space blue, rich purple, light blue, and soft cream or yellow accents. Green is the main color of the character, while blue and purple dominate the suit and space-related details. Use light blue for emphasis, and cream or yellow for small accents. The colors should be balanced, recognizable, and harmonious.
Illustration style: hand-drawn cartoon with clear dark outlines, slightly uneven shapes, painterly brushstrokes, textured color fills, and simple hatching. Avoid photorealism. The design should appeal to children aged 5 to 12 and be suitable for posters, educational materials, stickers, products, and packaging.AI Engine: Chat GPT
