In this page you can read a few things about me and see a brief showcase of my animation and motion graphics work.
I am Stratos Tzanavaris, a designer/animator based in Amsterdam and the other half of design studio Bomburo. Nice to meet you!
I aim to work on projects that initiate positive transformation at a societal, cultural, and environmental level. I feel accountable for the work I create, so I try to question stereotypes, challenge social norms and strive for fair representation.
A few tidbits of my work on motion graphics and animation.
In most cases the artwork was made by or in collaboration with Silvia Celiberti. For the whole picture please visit our website.
I've animated all the characters and effects for 6 Yemeni serious mobile games. Here you can see a sample of the characters' animations that went into the games Arwa's World and the Republic of Sheeba.
Even though game animation has different requirements than animation for video, the general principles of movement and the techniques used are the same.
This is an animated illustration inspired by the story of the Curumim sculpture in the Lagoa of Rio de Janeiro.
Above is a short animation we did to thank our friend Seb for inviting us on Dribbble. The assets where drawn by hand, the animation was done in After effects.
And this is a frame by frame loop we created inspired by the handmade skin care products of Fisika, who actually hand pick some of their ingredients.
Very often in our graphic design work I use movement to better communicate ideas or to add flavour to otherwise static visual elements such as icons.
In the above examples, we designed and I animated a series of icons for a client's website, designed and animated a client's logo and we created a playful message about the importance of good editorial design.
Working with Bomburo was an absolute pleasure.
They were incredibly professional and efficient and were able to take our ideas and translate them into concrete design outputs.
Moreover, they were very flexible in incorporating our feedback on an earlier version of the design and were able to turn around a product incredibly quickly. Their expertise in design greatly contributed to the excellent work they did.
We would highly recommend working with them.
Bomburo was able to seamlessly take data and turn it into digestible and informative infographics. This is a testament to their ability to turn complex ideas and concepts into creative digital assets.
They were completely professional, reliable, and flexible. I would definitely like to work with them again in future.
