Today's Google Doodle celebrates Carmen Miranda's 108th birthday and I absolutely love the composition and aesthetics of this illustration - so much that I wanted to document a few thoughts on my blog! The bright colours, subtle textures in the brush strokes and soft, round shapes have a friendly and inviting tone of voice and the character design is truly charming. The symmetrical composition and framing gives a sense of balance and harmony, and the glowing light around Carmen's character draws the audience immediately to the centre. There is a big evocation of nature with the headrests being reminiscent of flower petals and leaves and it leaves me with an appreciation of mother nature and a fresh outlook and approach to my day.
