A Colorado artist has been selected to design the credentials for the 2008 Democratic National Convention.

The national party’s convention committee picked Kristi King, a graphics designer in Arvada. The committee said in its release that King “will incorporate images and landmarks reflecting Denver's rich history and diversity into the look of the credentials.”

Credentials [1] are a keepsake and much-sought-after, as the cards give access to the hall to delegates, members of the media and other guests during Convention week.
