Zara Robertson Design

As a graphic designer, my work centres on bold typography, motion and colour to create impactful visual languages. I enjoy producing work that blends digital and analogue qualities, giving my projects a richer sense of personality. Problem-solving and organisation are key strengths of my practice, skills I have developed through my experience working in a studio environment. I thrive in collaborative settings where idea generation drives the creative process, but I’m equally confident in the strength of the work I produce independently.

01.Alien Life Form
Riso Print animation
 

Riso graph animation inspired by David Bowie’s prescient 1999 BBC Newsnight interview with Jeremy Paxman. Centered on Bowie’s bold declaration that the internet is an “alien life form,” the piece juxtaposes his insights with a montage of found internet and tech advertisements from the cusp of the millennium. The Riso technique lends a tactile, retro-futuristic aesthetic, echoing the analogue-digital duality of the era. As Bowie’s words resonate across pulsating frames, the animation hints at  the tension between the Internet’s untamed potential and its commercial co-option. Alien Life Form invites viewers to reflect on the 1999 web frontier.
