Fargo Monthly
SHEER ART ATTACK
Fargo Monthly talked to a handful of visual artists and those deeply involved with local organizations and galleries to highlight their unique roles in the growing art scene, and to find out why the arts are so important for our community. To compliment the beauty of local artwork, Graphic Designer Sarah Geiger created exquisite typography and a bold layout and Photographer Paul Flessland captured artists’ unique and creative personality. Together they made the magazine visually a piece of art in itself. Here are just a few of our favorite designs from Fargo Monthly’s March issue.

“I wanted to be one of the best to ever run here. I think this year, so far, it’s been going in the right direction. But I don’t think it will be satisfying until I make it to at least the West Preliminaries and the ultimate goal is to make it to Nationals.”
– Landon Jochim, junior sprinter for NDSU’s track and field team
Alex Renner and Katelyn Weimerskirch, Bison throwers
“There are so many things that I’ve learned that I will use forever. Things like discipline, being able to work hard and never giving up. You really develop that more in college and throughout your five years. I couldn’t imagine just being here four. I’ve had all these experiences in five years. They’re things I’ll cherish forever and will bring me through the rest of my life.”
– Katelyn Weimerskirch, senior thrower for NDSU’s track and field team
“I look at (rankings) a little bit. More than anything, it’s to see where you’re at, but it’s not like you dwell on it. I try not to throw a certain mark because then you start pressing and you should just go out and throw. There’s a point where you look at them too much and you obsess with them and you can’t focus on what you’re supposed to do. You have to focus on the little things and do the little things right.”
– Alex Renner, senior thrower for NDSU’s track and field team
“It’s a lot of juggling, but they are things I’m very passionate about. All the organizations I’m in, they’re great. It’s very collaborative work. I try to focus on school first. Athletics does take priority over my clubs, but my clubs are right up there because they are something I’m so passionate about. There’s a lot less of a social aspect going on in my life, but I get it in my clubs so I don’t really need it in other areas.”
– Morgan Milbrath, senior sprinter for NDSU’s track and field team
