Here’s a true creative spirit. Meet Alicia Napolitan, a web and graphic designer.

Alicia began branding and designing at a young age. In grade school, when her class was asked to create subject folders, all the other kids just scribbled the subject name on each folder. Not Alicia. She branded each of her folders with subject-specific graphics.

Alicia designed her Science folders with images of test tubes, glass beakers and microscopes. Her Geography folders included images of maps, globes and world landmarks. Her Math folders had calculators, numbers and mathematic equations artfully placed about. And, of course, each folder was color coordinated. Let’s just say that Alicia was the only student in her class who had to proof her folders. That’s because Alicia’s folders were the only ones that had to go to a professional printer.

Alicia’s classmates were always envious of her subject folders, and some of her teachers even asked if they could use her folders for future classes. Rumor has it that Alicia accepted the offer and is still receiving royalty checks to this day.

Later in life, Alicia began designing professionally for print and web.

Alicia’s print work includes the design and creation of brochures, fliers, apparel and DVD packages for many businesses such as Goodyear Tires, “Punchcard Player” the movie, and the city of Tracy in Northern California.

Alicia has designed many types of websites, from city and business sites, to movie and political candidate sites.

Our Alicia has also worked as script supervisor and still photographer on the full-length movies “1 2 3” and “Punchcard Player,” and she did the same on a number of short films.

Oh, we won’t stop there. Alicia did graphics work on The Scene, a monthly arts and entertainment magazine, and she designed the magazine’s official website. What a talent.

Alicia earned her Bachelor of Science Degree—with honors—in Graphic Design from California State University, Sacramento. She’s quick to tell people that she didn’t design her poorly crafted degree.

As a young student, Alicia enjoyed creating attractive subject folders for school. Today at Nappic Communications, she continues to push her creativity to higher levels on every project.
