Info.
Arab News wanted to tell a rich cultural story with depth, elegance and editorial credibility. Wild created a design-led animated film that used rhythm, detail and visual craft to make the history of Arabic calligraphy feel alive and accessible.
The work went on to win multiple design and editorial awards, making it a strong proof point for culturally rich animation and complex editorial storytelling.
