The Spirit Animal collection is a series of matching shirt designs that celebrate balance, unity, and connection. The collection features two designs: El Gato, showcasing playful cats, and El Perro, highlighting dynamic dogs. Each shirt pairs a colored figure with an outlined one, creating a yin-yang inspired aesthetic.
Designed as complementary pieces, the shirts are perfect for couples or individuals who want to honor the harmony between opposites, symbolized through the timeless relationship between cats and dogs.
About this project.
As the designer of this collection, I developed the concept, illustrations, and overall aesthetic. Drawing from the yin-yang philosophy, I used the interplay of colored and outlined figures to convey duality and connection - light and shadow, individuality and unity. The cats and dogs embody this symbolism, reflecting their natural contrasts while celebrating coexistence.
My work extended to refining the symbolism, crafting compelling visuals, and creating merchandise that resonates with both pet lovers and art enthusiasts.
