Senior graphic design student wins 
"Best of Show" at FSC's Graphic Arts Exhibit

LAKELAND, Fla. (April 13, 2004) - Karina Romero, senior graphic design major, won "Best of Show" at the art department's Senior Graphic Design Show. The exhibit, which concluded yesterday, was juried by Tim Cox, Publix Director of Creative Services, and Allen Reed, Creative Director and Principal of Reed Advertising.

Romero designed the logo and brochures for a fictional organization she named Latino Art. "I chose to do Latino Art because it is something that I am interested in, especially since I am Hispanic," she said. She became interested in Latin American art while researching for a report on Frida Kahlo in an FSC 20th century art class. She is currently designing a website for Latino Art as part of her class work. Romero is the daughter of Maria Romero of Bartow, Fla., and Fernando Romero.
