Aotearoa Rockstars are a community project in Christchurch whose mission is to promote the indigenous language of New Zealand—Te Reo Maori.  Their first goal is to teach school students both the language and the culture, secondly these children get to practice their new skills by bringing the language into the community. As they were approaching the second cycle of their project they needed some impressive marketing material to promote the incredible work they do. 

As we had a team of designers working on different pieces of design, I created a style guide to maintain consistency in fonts and colours used. For my contribution I created a series of brochures, a guide booklet, and information sheets which were used throughout the programme. I incorporated the Maori weaving pattern Poutama into various designs, which represents the various levels of education and achievement. As head of graphic design I was responsible for managing a team of three designers, and organising all of the printed material. Printing and trimming a large amount of the marketing material myself, I gained a valuable insight into print design and preparing files for print.
