Paradox Advent Calendar #4

[Susana]

Day 4 and time to introduce the lady who is responsible for our products (box art etc) and events and who's been with us since 2005!

Name: Jeanette Bauer
Paradox role: Product & Event Manager
What I enjoy most about my work: Our fun team and the talented people we are surrounded by - inhouse & externally.
Little known fact: I´m addicted to interior design & blog about childrens' rooms at http://frokenbauer.wordpress.com/
Weird talent: I have a Black belt in shopping
Best Paradox moment: Our team trip to Barcelona in 2006
Family secret: I sometimes pretend otherwise but NO - I´m not related to Jack Bauer, John Bauer nor do I own an ice skating gear company…. not that I would have minded if that had been the case.

Helllooo Alexspeed! You´ve been a member as long as I´ve been at the company

You should know that I´m not "creating" the covers myself. We find good artists who creates upon request & I confirm that the covers are looking better for each year! Thanks for the feedback!
My colleague Boel has covered for me during my maternity leave and has an excellent eye for details and compostion of artwork.

Regarding the Paradox Interactive developed games I´ve been involved in the EU series and HoI series, Boel shall be credited for the CK II & Victoria II which turned out great!
The final boxes are products of a great teamwork!

Tshüss & Auf Wiedersehn...

Nice to hear!
And reg German... I´ve had a few years of practice, since I went 13 years in die Deutsche Schule in Stockholm, Abitur in 1996 ... another little secret of mine!

 

[SAS]

I don't know anywhere on earth a "consumer" of a product (games and fun) can interact with the "makers" in such a free manner! Paradox keeps getting better and better, wish I spoke Swedish.

So many secrets to reveal

Maybe you have some more to share?
For example some packshots that never made it out of the office?

When you look at the blog (didn't understand a word, obviously.... care to make an english version, please ? ), you understand the quality of the Paradox coverarts... Jeanette, you have a keen eye

(and yes, SAS, first name basis... not my fault this time, it's also her nick )
