Goran Paunovic has spent the better part of the last decade helping business executives focus their sales and marketing messages, and giving voice to their corporate identities.  Goran founded the full-service graphic design firm ArtVersion® in 1999, and ArtVersion® has since provided numerous clients, including Fortune 500 companies, with web-design, multimedia, corporate identity, and marketing services. 

ArtVersion® has a strong expertise in creating and re-developing corporate identities and brand strengthening.  “Behind the marketing pieces that all of us receive in our mailboxes each day, someone put a lot of effort.  I'm personally greatly surprised when my Fortune 500 clients show me that they really care about their customers, and don't mind going the extra mile or expanding their budgets just to make sure that the marketing material relay means something to the recipient.”  Goran said.  “It's impressive to see how executives and their teams are willing to put forth the effort to make their marketing messages, brochures, websites or even business cards really represent their company.  Many of them don't have in-house graphic or creative departments and that's where my team and I can help them.  From idea to completion, we work hard together, and that is the only way of creating ingenious and effective materials.”

In 2004, Goran broke new ground by establishing Chicago’s first magazine focusing on the local fashion scene, Chicago Fashion Magazine.  Chicago Fashion Magazine Corporation, which now boasts a team of over 20 writers, photographers and other fashion industry professionals, is a leading force in helping local designers and small boutiques break onto the scene, and also helping larger companies get closer to their target audience.

Kristina T. Paunovic, the Founder/Designer of ArtVersion® started the corporate greeting cards division in 1999. Prior to this, she spent over many years in the Fashion and Beauty Advertising Industry managing the development of advertising campaigns for many clients in Europe and USA. In search of another creative outlet, she decided to start with her own version by designing unique corporate greeting cards. Cards that were truly art each of them designed from heart and not to mention hard to throw away. At first, she questioned whether this hobby could actually develop into a business. But once Art Directors and many Corporate Clients expressed interest in her designs, she started to think differently.

Kristina experimented with over 100 different designs over the course of a year before launching her final line. Each year couple new designs are added. She often likes to refer to her cards as little pieces of artwork versus greeting cards.

Kristina handles all aspects of the company's Greeting Cards Division including design, marketing/public relations, and sales.
