Bertram and Volkart’s 1990 poster for the Museum für Gestaltung Zürich turns scientific drawing into high-impact graphic art. This hypnotic poster by Swiss design duo Bertram/Volkart is a brilliant fusion of natural precision and minimalist composition. A trio of zebras, rendered in an intense, almost glowing duotone of burnt orange and black, gallop across the frame in photorealistic detail, their forms bisected by sharp geometric blocks of text.
With surgical balance, the designers overlay clinical typography onto an almost surreal image. The vivid orange rectangles not only guide the eye but also disrupt the natural form, underscoring the exhibition's core theme: the intersection of observation and interpretation. Scientific drawing, after all, isn’t just about copying nature, but about translating it into systems of understanding.
Part Bauhaus, part biology textbook, this is Swiss modernism with a pulse. It’s not only a bold piece of graphic design, but a clever visual metaphor for the way science filters the natural world through the lens of structure and method.
