Doodle for Google Contest
This year Walker is participating in a contest sponsored by Google.com
Students are to design an original logo for Google based on the theme,"What I Wish for the World."
Information about the contest can be found at
http://www.google.com/doodle4google/index.html
Be sure to check the link for Doodle History
This webpage has some great examples of last years finalists as well as a demonstration video by one of Google’s professional doodlers.
Below are some tips for creating a great design. I have provided an official Google logo for the students to use.
Top Ten Tips
Make sure your design complements the shape of the letters in the Google logo, but don't let that restrict your creativity.
Experiment with different media to see which one works best for your design (you can even create your doodle on your PC).
Don't over-complicate your design – simpler images often have the most impact.
Remember that your design could end up on the Google homepage, so imagine how it will look on screen.
Remember to use color well and think about how it interacts with a white background.
Avoid commercial or copyrighted images.
Think outside the box – try to create a doodle that's different from your classmates and hasn't been done before.
Feel free to use the space behind and in front of the Google letters, but try to maintain your design's overall balance.
The doodle needs to fit on an 81/2 x 11” paper.
Have fun! "Doodle 4 Google" is all about creativity and enjoying designing fun things.
