Here's my submission for Kittl's Contra Challenge. Built a Rolex Daytona ad, that Rolex didn't ask for. Took the Daytona apart piece by piece and brought it all back together. I wanted it to feel like a real luxury ad that lets you sit with every detail up close. The whole thing was designed and animated in Kittl.

Creative for creative is not always easy, but at Goodword Agency we established a brand centered on narrative, strategy, and teamwork. The quill emerged as our guiding emblem, representing both artistry and purpose. This understanding influenced a dynamic visual framework rich in significance: intersecting shapes, directing arrows, and bespoke typography. Each element was crafted to evoke alignment, going beyond mere refinement. ⁠
