A Kansas University graphic design student will be featured in an upcoming issue of Creative Quarterly after winning the top prize in the magazine’s most recent competition.

Amy Rottinghaus, a junior from Baileyville who is majoring in visual communications/ graphic design, won best in show in the graphic design category for her Tech Girl Bookcovers.
