About MeKia Ora! My name is Rebekah, and I’m a 23-year-old, Wellington based graphic designer. I have recently graduated from Massey University, with a Bachelor’s Degree in Design (honours), majoring in Visual Communication Design.

I specialise in digital design, with advanced skills in Adobe Indesign, Illustrator and Figma (I love making things interactive on screens) and proficiency in Photoshop and After Effects. I also have experience using Adobe After Effects and love an illustration project. While I have worked with a range of media such as web design, print making and moving image, I particularly enjoy working with type. Whether for printed material, branding, editorial publications or moving image, I love using expressive type to extend the communication of a project. I found this love for typographic design while at Toi Rauwhārangi, and in my last two years I discovered that I’m a bit of a nerd for the history of type.

In this Case is, at its core, a type specimen that aims to engage design students with the historical contexts and attitudes behind the more well-known and commonly used type styles. It contextualises typeface classifications within their respective periods by drawing parallels with architectural styles. This presents typefaces as a sort of ‘time capsule’, that reflect their historical contexts.
