TESTIMONIALS
The level of the Conference and the speakers was very high and it was a pleasant surprise that I have rarely encountered in international conferences around the world. Congratulations, you succeeded where others have failed.

"The truth is that I have been to many Conferences and I can say that Graphic Stories Cyprus is one of the best organized events. The Conference is very well organized, it is very important how you pay attention to the speakers and pay attention to the details. The right way to communicate. I would like to see more people interested and actively involved in such initiatives. "You have done a very good job and I do not think I can find any flaw."

In my limited capacity I have tried providing a helping hand to the "Graphic Stories Cyprus" friends and it was a great pleasure to participate as a speaker in the very first event that took place in 2015 in Nicosia. Since then many things have changed; the events and workshops have grown and matured, contributing to the improvement of the field of visual graphic communication in Cyprus. I wholeheartedly wish you health and strength to continue with the same unfailing energy to surprise us with your fresh, interesting, and so necessary, for this place, ideas!

The Graphic Stories Cyprus is a celebration of design for Cyprus but also for beyond. Each year it brings together creative professionals from the island, from Greece as well as artists from other countries in an effort of education, communication and socialisation. I had the pleasure to be a speaker at the GSC and I enjoyed the level of organization but also the responsiveness and positive energy of the participants. What delights me the most is the tremendous progress I witness to take place every year in this tradition. I wish the best for an establishment that is very much needed.

Graphic Stories Cyprus 2015, was a well-content and aesthetically nice organization that inspired and gave opportunities for perceptions to many young people and also brought together the whole of the graphics community of Cyprus. The "Politis" newspaper wants, seeks and supports such events because it considers that promote culture. We feel proud for our, albeit small, contribution to the overall effort which is undoubtedly credited to the unappeased “graphic” passion of Aggeliki MK.

For the last 10 years I have participated either as a speaker or as a guest in dozens of conferences in many countries. With this experience I can assure you that Graphic Stories Cyprus has nothing to envy from respective international conferences, but instead has a unique character that makes it stand out from any other. And this feature is the huge effort and the dedication of its organizers who have created a 360o conference which magically combines experience and practice with theory, while respecting the past but also with an unquenchable thirst for the future. It is a conference that stands comfortably at European and global level!

Our experience in Graphic Stories Cyprus was unforgettable! The warm atmosphere and generally the whole energy of the Conference worked very positively, helping young people and not just designers to share their ideas and vision. We are proud to have participated in such a creative event. A great thank you to Angeliki and Miltos for the invitation and for the excellent organizing of the conference.

Graphic Stories Cyprus is a great conference that has a clear structure and vision. Participants, audiences and lecturers, interact more than any other event I have so far participated or attended. By participating to it, you surely gain more knowledge and an expanded visual perception.

As a member and a representative of “Countryside Animafest Cyprus – Views of the World”, I was blessed to have the opportunity to be one of this year’s speakers, and with my presentation to connect the animation world with the graphic design world of the island. In a welcoming environment filled with talented and creative individuals, I became one with the artistic spirit of the conference and experienced the positive vibes and the knowledge that was shared throughout the day. A must-attend event for all designers and artists of the island. Hats off to Aggeliki and Miltos for making this happen and for maintaining the conference’s growth. Keep up the good work!

My participation at the Graphic Stories Cyprus Conference was an experience that made me feel very nice as I had the opportunity to meet old and beloved friends and colleagues but also to meet young people and it was a great honor for me to talk to the audience. It was really a Celebration of the Arts with a lot of positive vibrations and hope for the future in our field. I warmly thank to Aggeliki, Miltos and all those who took part in their way to the absolute success of this Celebration!

The Graphic Stories Cyprus is an excellent initiative which presents and promotes important topics related to the history, research, theory and practice of visual communication. Arguably, contributes to the cultivation of fine arts but mostly of applied arts. Its introduction as an annual event would be prosperous for the general public, the culture of design and of visual communication in Cyprus.

The 2nd Graphic Stories Cyprus congress was the positive development of the original concept that characterized this special meeting of visual communication designers in Cyprus. Many thanks for the pleasure and honor of being one of the speakers and for having the opportunity to develop my creative “graphic story” in front of a very warm public and at a historic site, the Gate of Famagousta. With the gaze of visual communication pointed to tradition but also to modern technology, the two workshops – calligraphy and ePub e-book creation – which were hosted, gave to those who participated unforgettable creative moments. I wholeheartedly wish the 3rd congress to vindicate the vision of the organizers and to become a beneficial establishment with international impact in the happenings of the island.

I had the honor of being an instructor at one of the workshops of Graphic Stories Cyprus and also the pleasure to attend the remaining actions. I enjoyed tremendously noting that the organization is gaining the, so much needed, lost ground in the field of Visual Communication in the Island of Cyprus. Everyone’s positive energy and appetite and their warm welcome was admirable. The excellent organization of this meeting is credited to the organizers who exaggerated their self for the establishment of this event and Design in general in Cyprus! For me it was one of the most pleasant and refreshing experiences I had. Thank you very much!

Visiting Cyprus and being part of this great initiative for designers from all around the world, Graphic Stories Cyprus, was one of the highlights of my year. Warm, friendly people who open their arms and welcome you like family. The events are well organized and the atmosphere is cordial and educational as well. I would fully recommend attend these events if you have the chance. The flight is worth it!!
