This infographic presents the 1000-year-old Norse poem Voluspá, which describes the beginning and the end of the world. To keep the ancient feel of the myth, the typeface chosen has similarities with the first written language in Scandinavia, runes, which was carved into stones and bones. The illustrations used have an old-fashioned style and were made in 1895 which helps convey that this myth have been around for a long time. The smaller circle represents when the Voluspá, the prophesy, is given the great god Odin by a powerful sorceress. The larger circle represents the prophesy itself; what has been and what is to come. The smaller circle intersects with the larger circle at the point where the prophecy happens in time, after the God's fall from grace and before the dreaded Ragnarok is about to begin. Circles have been chosen since they help symbolize the cyclical nature of the myth presented. The serpent biting its own tale is the Midgard Serpent from Norse mythology, so big he surrounds the entire earth. Him biting his own tail creates a full circle and can be seen as a symbol of eternity on one hand, and on the other; self-destruction. The tail of the serpent marks the world when it begins. The design of the head of the serpent is inspired by the dragonheads on Viking ships, and is placed in such a way that the biting of the tail marks the world when it ends.
