FSU Grad Designs Ads to Appear in People

Look for the graphic design work of a Fairmont State University graduate in the pages of the June 2008 People Country Special currently on newsstands.

Amy Napierkowski, who graduated from FSU in May with a Bachelor of Science degree in Graphics Technology, designed two ads for country music artist Monty Lane Allen as part of an internship she completed with Moon & Stars Studio, LLC in Clarksburg under the direction of Lemeul B. Muniz.

"All I can say is that she very professional and excels in her medium (Photoshop)," Muniz said. "When given a creative predicament or conundrum she is always part of the solution never the problem. She is eager and motivated to get better. And as you can see (in the magazine) she does great work."

The project was one of five that Napierkowski completed over the four months of her internship. She also redesigned a Christmas album for Monty Lane Allen and created some promotional material for Methane Recovery Solutions for the Mine Expo in Las Vegas.

"I'm super excited about this. Even as I hold the magazine in my hands, it's still hard to wrap my brain around the fact that it's in a major publication," Napierkowski said about the ads in People.

A native of Gassaway, Napierkowski is a 2004 graduate of Braxton County High School. She is the daughter of the late Frank Napierkowski and Rosemary Potts of Gassaway.
