On Christmas day, you might see candy canes, baubles and ribbons on the
Google logo. On Halloween, it might be pumpkins or ghosts. These are
unique designs called Google doodles which mark special occasions. Korean
graphic artist, Dennis Hwang, is the creative genius behind them. We spoke to
Dennis about his art.
How
do you come up with ideas?
We do a lot of brainstorming and search through lots of images on the
Internet to get good ideas. We try to make a design that is fun and interacts
with the shape of the Google letters.
How
long does it take to create a doodle?
It depends on the type of event. We might spend days planning a doodle for
an upcoming holiday. But, for an important news event, we can create one in
just a few hours.
How
do you decide which days to celebrate?
We look at the special days in different countries across the world. If
there’s an occasion that fits with the Google brand, we
celebrate it.
Do
you get ideas from Google users?
Yes, we get lots of useful feedback. We love to hear from users because
their ideas are so creative.
What’s
the hardest thing about your job?
It’s finding something fresh and innovative. Although
that can be difficult, it also makes the work exciting and challenging. That’s why I love it.
