Top Ten Tips

 * 1) Make sure your design complements the shape of the letters in the Google logo, but don't let that restrict your creativity.
 * 2) Experiment with different media to see which one works best for your design (you can even create your doodle on your PC).
 * 3) Don't over-complicate your design – simpler images often have the most impact.
 * 4) Remember that your design could end up on the Google homepage, so imagine how it will look on screen.
 * 5) To find inspiration around the "If I could travel in time, I'd visit...? theme, try thinking about what period in time intrigues you the most.
 * 6) Remember to use color well and think about how it interacts with a white background.
 * 7) Avoid commercial or copyrighted images.
 * 8) Think outside the box – try to create a doodle that's different from your classmates and hasn't been done before.
 * 9) Feel free to use the space behind and in front of the Google letters, but try to maintain your design's overall balance.
 * 10) Have fun! "Doodle 4 Google" is all about creativity and enjoying designing fun things. Think about what period in time you'd like to travel.
