High-stakes television broadcasts, multi-stage music festivals, and immersive album visualizers all share one common requirement: they demand instantaneous visual impact before an audience looks away. For 3D motion designer, visual developer, and digital creator Zahir (known on his profile as Z4), software like Blender, After Effects, and Photoshop acts as a high-powered engine to turn static concepts into dynamic visual worlds. His portfolio showcases a powerful technical range that spans high-pressure corporate broadcasting and raw, independent entertainment design. Looking across his curated body of work, Zahir emerges as a multi-disciplinary visual architect who comfortably navigates commercial broadcast precision, live stage direction, and speculative 3D artwork.
A major pillar of Zahir’s work is grounded in high-level sports broadcasting and corporate media, where clarity must align perfectly with fast-paced motion. Over the past two years in his studio role, Zahir has engineered graphics for high-profile global broadcasts, including official coverage for the UEFA Champions League on TNT Sports, the 2024 Paris Olympics for BBC, select broadcast packages for TalkTV, and TV graphics package development for the 2025 FIFA Club World Cup alongside lead designer Sam. In these fast-moving production environments, Zahir transforms real-time match statistics, athlete keyframes, and dynamic studio overlays into sharp visual assets that maintain pristine detail across millions of international screens.
Transitioning from home screens to physical concert venues, Zahir applies his spatial design expertise to stage visuals and live music environments. Working alongside creative partners like SDQ under the Deesgn+ label, he has delivered motion graphics and screen assets for live events such as Dance Eko, Carter Efe’s stream setup, and screen visuals for Mavo's Business Crusade Tour under the creative direction of OC Multiverse. He has also developed the visual branding and promotional materials for live cultural gatherings including Tribe Block Party, Common Ground Festival, and Ilé Ijó. These projects highlight his ability to build immersive graphic systems that sync naturally with stage lighting, live sound, and real-time audience energy.
In music art direction, Zahir acts as a complete visual storyteller, crafting complete rollout campaigns that give sound a distinct visual shape. For Peruzzi’s album Sabali, he spearheaded the creative direction, rendering the official cover artwork, designing tracklist layouts, and building 3D animated intros in Blender and After Effects. His music portfolio also features assisting Sore Adebisi and Sinformas on the rollout for Bnxn's Ashimolowo, designing custom 3D art for Toyourears' Sleep on Who, producing 3D visualizers for Omiko the Giant, and developing summer assets for Bnxn’s Captain Tour. By treating music packaging as an expansive environment, Zahir gives every musical project a durable visual identity across digital streaming platforms and physical media.
What gives Zahir’s selection of work its distinct personality is his ongoing commitment to unbriefed personal experiments and 3D character design. His personal library features turnaround model sheets and stylistic portrait studies, including Ìyá Ìbejì (a 3D portrait study rendered in Blender), Kayra, Omar, Noir, and conceptual renders like M$NEY. He also regularly tests movement and form through fluid fight sequence animations, street mobility motion tests like wheelie, and mobile interface screen captures like Fit Check. These self-directed projects serve as an R&D laboratory where he pushes texturing, camera lighting, and character rigging techniques before deploying them into major commercial projects.
Zahir’s portfolio reveals how technical software mastery and pop culture design can combine to create compelling visual art. Whether he is building real-time broadcast graphics packages for global sports tournaments, rendering dark atmospheric motion posters like Carnival of Fears, or sculpting detailed character studies, he maintains steady control over motion rhythm, spatial depth, and lighting. Zahir continues to refine a versatile design practice that seamlessly connects global network broadcasting with the forefront of creative visual culture.
