Greek Designer

by Zisis Papageorgiou
(N. Artaki - Evia - Greece)

I studied Mathematics and Graphic Arts in Thesaloniki - Greece.

I'm Chief Designer for a well-known publishing house in Greece producing printed and CD-Rom illustrations. Creator of cartoon characters that are both familiar to and well-loved by children all over Greece. These very same characters have also starred in following editions:

1. Peris and Catia. The best children games" CD-Rom, which launched in 2002.
2. In Pipis the computer and his friends" series (2003).
3. In "Let's go to school!", a six CD-Rom series which contained games based on the Greek Primary School subjects (2003)
4. In Peris and Catia at the Olympic Games", a 5 CD-Rom series, which launched in 2004, the year of Athen's Olympic Games.
5. In "Learning with the PC", series for Primary School Children.
6. In a 3 book and 3 CD-Rom series:
a) Learning English on my PC
b) Learning Music on my PC
c) Learning games on my PC (pre-school children)
7. In "KIDePEDIA", a 32 volume encyclopedia designed for Primary school students which launched on November 2008.
8. In "BABYPEDIA", a 16 volume series for Pre-school children (December 2009 - May 2010.
9. In "Chefkids", a 10 volume series with cooking instructions and recipes for kids (14 June - 19 August
2011)

For all the pre-mentioned editions, I have created, apart from drawings, all of the animations of the cartoon characters so as the latter could be embodied in all the interactive CD-Roms which accompanied series.

I also create 3 comic strips for a computer magazine issued on a monthly basis since 2001.

I can draw everything I've been asked but i prefer to draw old style cartoons for children.

I always do sample sketches and 1-2 drawings in the final form when I start a product.

I' m absolutely compatible and I have never ever crossed a deadline.

I began drawing at the age of three, and consider myself fortunate to have been able to turn a much-loved hobby into a successful career.
