Yellow pencil turned into a tower crane mast

This is a visual metaphor on a soft grey gradient background. A photoreal yellow pencil standing on its tip becomes the mast of an orange lattice tower crane, with its cable and hook hanging down. Soft studio light casts a long diagonal shadow to the left along the floor plane. The palette is muted and neutral, with warm yellow-orange as the only accent and a crimson highlight word, for a clean minimal finish.

Layout: A tall vertical pencil stands left of centre as the crane mast, with its orange jib spanning the upper third. The left-aligned headline sits under the jib to the right, beside the hanging hook, with a small event label and date below it. Generous grey negative space surrounds everything.
Typography: Bold white humanist sans headline with one key word in deep red; small tracked grey sans caps for the event label and a light sans for the date.

The palette is muted and neutral, with warm yellow-orange as the only accent and a crimson highlight word, for a clean minimal finish.

Rules:
- Build the same kind of idea around [my brand]: make my product or service the hero, the way the reference does. Don't copy its artwork, people, products, logo or text.
- Leave a clean space for my logo. Never invent a logo, prices, phone numbers or claims.
- One strong idea, few words, and text large enough to read on a phone.

Before you design, ask me for my brand name and what my business sells. Then create the image.
