I love the animated Google Doodles that Google puts out once in awhile. Today’s Doodle, “Little Nemo in Slumberland”, was so charming and fun I decided to make a video of it for anyone who may miss it today. Google Doodles does have a cool Google Doodle Museum, which you can view here.
The Google Animated Doodle, titled “Little Nemo in Google-land,” has eight comic panels that drop down singularly or in small groups. Clicking on the doodle activates the animation, which first colors in the letters in the Google logo in their traditional colors. I enjoy how fun and fresh the creative team doing this Google Doodles is, (it used to be just one guy doing these doodles for years!) They keep coming up with these fun and cool animations. Thanks guys. I love the old school, older illustrations feel of the drawings. I have some wonderful old Wizard of Oz books from the 30’s that are just gorgeous with this kind of art work. You could take each page and frame it. Some of the websites I have been working on are using these wonderful older color palates, which feel very fresh now after so many years of bright blues, greens and yellows and oranges. Working with graphics and color is one of the very enjoyable things I get to do when building websites. Enjoy the video. Best Viewed in full screen.
