Design guidelines

• The doodle should be presented on a white, 8.5 x 11 inch paper. The paper should be oriented in landscape.
• You can download the Google logo template from our Lesson Resources page.
• Along with creating a doodle, students also need to write a title for their doodle and a supporting statement
  of up to 50 words explaining their "What if....?" vision.
• The winning doodle will be displayed on our U.S. homepage, so the Google logo should be clearly visible and recognizable.
• The doodle can be in pencil, crayons, felt tip or paint, or can be done using computer drawing or design software.
• Unfortunately, we can't accept entries which use additional materials to create 3D effects.
• Please create original designs.  Be inspired by Dennis, but don't recreate his designs.
