| Birthday of Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi 2nd Oct |
The doodle to celebrate of Mohandas Gandhi's birthday is
both my first illustration since joining the doodle team and a project
that is very dear to me. As a prominent figure for peace and non-violent
resistance, Gandhi is an icon whose legacy I could not readily distill
into one representation. The early stages of the project saw the
development of a second version that depicted Gandhi journeying through
the desert with his signature walking stick. In order to decide which
doodle best portrayed him, I consulted hundreds of Google employees both
in the US and in our offices in India. The simple indigo drawing of
Gandhi on khadi cloth made it to our homepage, but the alternate version
can still live here!
