From Earth To Moon
First part (half) of the story

The first sock, where it all starts, has a white toe cap, which slightly exceeds the perimeter of the toe cap, because I want the clouds of the launch of the rocket to be expressive, expansive, illustrating the force of the explosion. The explosion will be yellow, orange, red. The tongues of fire refer to a vintage aesthetic, I really want these socks to refer to that aesthetic marked by time. From this core of fire, a red, white, checkered rocket rises, which takes us back to old science fiction movies and books, and to tin toys made in Japan. This rocket is positioned on the outer side of the sock. The sky is stratified, to create greater chromatic dynamics in the sock as we ascend. and, at the same time, to create the idea of ​​altitude, of distance that increases as one moves at great speed from the earth. Therefore, it will start with a lighter blue, which will darken until it becomes dark blue. The stars will appear more and more as we climb the sock.

Second part (half) of the story

The dark blue tone that ends at the top of the first sock is the same tone as the toe cap. Following the same logic as the first sock, the stratified sky darkens until it becomes practically universe black. Stars sprinkle the sky. From the inner side of the toecap, a fire-yellow trail ascends in a spiral trajectory along the sock, the same rocket surrounds a fat moon The moon, like everything else, refers to a very retro aesthetic, having a face and doing so. an allusion to the film with the same title, by Mélies, but not so grotesque, being placed on the side, on the shin.

Victory victory, began the story.
