Last Year's Winner w/Description:
My doodle, "Up in the Clouds," expresses a world in the sky. This new world is clean and fresh, and people are social and enlightened. Every person here is treated as family no matter who they are. The bright sun heats this ideal place with warmth, love, and brightens everyone's day.

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.
- To find inspiration around the "What I Wish for the World?" theme, try thinking about the future and how you would like it to differ from the present.
- 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.
- Have fun! "Doodle 4 Google" is all about creativity and enjoying designing fun things. Think about how you want to change the world.
