In today’s rapidly evolving digital landscape, the necessity for engaging, dynamic content is paramount. As attention spans contract, the ability to swiftly capture and sustain viewer engagement is vital. Moving visuals, especially hand-drawn videos, shine as invaluable assets in this domain. Their charm and animated nature don’t just convey your message; they make it memorable.

Whiteboard or Explainer Videos blend simplicity with creativity, masterfully transforming complex topics into digestible and captivating narratives. With over two decades of expertise in illustration, character design, and cartooning, I infuse every video with a distinct, refined touch.

Our partnership kicks off with a comprehensive briefing, allowing me to deeply understand your aspirations and objectives. Scripting and storyboarding follow, laying down the visual and narrative blueprint. I pride myself on my commitment to authenticity and originality. The videos I craft avoid the trappings of generic templates and characters, opting instead for custom illustrations that harmonize with your brand and its message.

In a market saturated with providers leveraging software, pre-loaded drawings, and templated assets, many videos risk looking indistinguishably similar, potentially exuding an air of uninspired mass production. My approach contrasts sharply. Every creation is genuinely hand-drawn, custom-tailored, and deeply attuned to your brand’s ethos. The styles you might have enjoyed in my portfolio? All are at your disposal, from monochromatic sketches to vivid, full-color masterpieces.

Yet, quality doesn’t necessitate extravagance. Despite offering expert craftsmanship and bespoke content, my rates are surprisingly competitive. The proposition is clear: top-tier quality without the top-tier price. Each collaboration is structured with transparent, flat-rate estimates from conception to completion, ensuring you can plan without the stress of unforeseen costs. Defined milestones keep the project on track and punctual.

Your message deserves prominence. Should you be seeking an authentic, captivating narrative, whether for product showcases, service introductions, or business processes, I am poised to deliver. Reach out, let’s discuss a no-commitment offer, and embark on a journey to make your content distinct, engaging, and memorable.

Thank you for considering a collaboration. I look forward to the possibility of working with you.

The Early Days of Google Doodles: How Illustrator Ian Marsden Created the First Doodle

13/08/2016 | Comments: 0 | Posted by: idmarsden | In: Artist, Business Illustration, Cartoon, Cartoonist, Corporate Identity, Dessinateur, First Google Doodle, Freelance, Freelance Illustrator, Google Doodle Artist, Google Doodles, Ian David Marsden, illustrateur, Illustrateur France, Illustration, Illustration Deutschland, Illustration France, Illustration Schweiz, Illustrator, Illustrator Deutschland, Illustrator Schweiz, Instagram, logo, logo design, Marsden, Mascot, mascotte, Maskottchen

If you’re a fan of Google, you might have noticed that the search engine sometimes features creative and playful variations of its logo on special occasions, such as holidays, birthdays, or events. These variations are called Google Doodles, and they have become a beloved and iconic part of Google’s brand and culture. But did you know who created the first Google doodle, and how it happened?

Mentalplex Technology Google Doodles by Ian David Marsden

According to a fascinating article in The Wall Street Journal, the story of the first Google doodle involves a lucky coincidence, a talented illustrator, and a creative marketer. It all started in 1998, when two Stanford University students, Larry Page and Sergey Brin, founded Google as a search engine for the internet. They initially used a simple logo featuring the word “Google” in colorful letters, but they soon realized they could use the logo as a canvas for fun and quirky designs that would celebrate and educate users about various topics.

Enter Susan Wojcicki, a young marketing manager who worked for Google in its early days (and who is now CEO of YouTube by the way). As the story goes, Wojcicki was looking for ways to promote Google and attract more users. She had the idea of commissioning an illustrator to create special logos for events. Wojcicki asked her colleagues if they knew any good illustrators, and one of them recommended Ian David Marsden, a cartoonist and illustrator, 32 at the time and father of two infant daughters, who had worked for Coca Cola and other clients and was making a name for himself with fun web graphics and animations during the amazing days of the first web bubble.

Wojcicki contacted Marsden to create some animated GIFs for an april fools joke about “Mentalplex Technology” – a new Google feature where you could just think about what you wanted to look for. Marsden was delighted and sent his designs to Wojcicki, who loved them. She showed it to Page and Brin, who also loved it. The logo was published on april fools day 2000, and became the first Google doodle.

Marsden’s design was a hit, and soon Wojcicki asked him to create more doodles for other occasions, such as Halloween and Thanksgiving. Marsden, who lived in Santa Monica, CA, drew the doodles on paper and scanned them into his dual-processor G3 Mac where he were digitally colorized them and emailed them to Wojcicki, who approved them and uploaded them to the Google site. Marsden worked closely with Wojcicki to refine each Doodle. He became known as the “doodler-in-chief” and drew all the Google doodles for over a year, until the company hired more illustrators and established a doodle team.

Most noticeable was probably the series of Google Doodles for the summer olympics in Sydney featuring a fun kangaroo character (the kangaroodle).

Marsden was studying animation at AET Academy of Entertainment and Technology, Santa Monica College at the time. He was hesitant to leave Santa Monica for Silicon Valley because he was also interested in breaking into the magazine cartoon world, animation for TV, and the budding web animation markets.

It’s hard to believe that back then, nobody could have known that Google would become the all-encompassing global mega-success that it is now. It didn’t seem like something to bet your entire future on. (Remember “Ask Jeeves”?) Yet the first Google doodles, created by Marsden, marked the beginning of a new era in the search engine giant’s evolution.

Today, Google doodles have become a beloved part of Google’s brand identity and have celebrated everything from holidays to historic events and individuals. It’s hard to imagine Google without them.

But it all started with a chance encounter between a marketing manager and a talented illustrator. Who knows where the next wave of innovation will come from? One thing is for sure: it’s always worth keeping an eye out for creative talent in unexpected places.

Today, Google doodles are created by a team of artists and engineers, and they continue to amaze and delight millions of people around the world. But the story of Ian David Marsden and his serendipitous encounter with Susan Wojcicki remains a testament to the power of creativity, collaboration, and innovation that fueled Google’s early days.

Explainer Videos, Whiteboard Animation, and Cartoon Animation by Ian David Marsden

In der sich rasch wandelnden digitalen Welt von heute ist dynamischer Content unerlässlich. Angesichts der immer kürzer werdenden Aufmerksamkeitsspannen gilt es, die Zuschauer umgehend zu fesseln und ihr Interesse kontinuierlich aufrechtzuerhalten. Bewegte, handgezeichnete Videos bieten hier eine unschlagbare Lösung. Sie bestechen durch ihren Charme und ihre Dynamik und sorgen dafür, dass Ihre Botschaft nicht nur vermittelt, sondern auch im Gedächtnis bleibt.

Whiteboard- oder Erklärvideos kombinieren Klarheit mit Kreativität, indem sie komplexe Inhalte in anschauliche und unterhaltsame Sequenzen umwandeln. Mit mehr als zwei Jahrzehnten Erfahrung in Illustration, Charakterdesign und Cartooning bringe ich eine individuelle und hochwertige Note in jedes Videoprojekt.

Unsere Zusammenarbeit startet mit einem intensiven Briefing, das es mir ermöglicht, Ihre Vision und Ihre Anforderungen vollumfänglich zu verstehen. Daraufhin entwickle ich das Drehbuch und das Storyboard, die den narrativen und visuellen Rahmen für das Video bilden. Mein Ansatz zeichnet sich durch Authentizität und Originalität aus. So vermeide ich generische Vorlagen und Charaktere und konzentriere mich stattdessen auf maßgeschneiderte Illustrationen, die perfekt mit Ihrer Marke und Ihrer Botschaft harmonieren.

In einem überfluteten Markt, in dem viele Anbieter auf standardisierte Software und vorgefertigte Zeichnungen zurückgreifen, laufen viele Videos Gefahr, sich zu ähneln und einen uniformen, wenig inspirierten Eindruck zu hinterlassen. Mein Arbeitsansatz ist anders. Jede meiner Produktionen wird sorgfältig handgezeichnet und individuell angefertigt. Die Stilrichtungen, welche Ihnen in meinem Portfolio vielleicht gefallen haben, stehen Ihnen zur Verfügung – von schlichten Schwarz-Weiß-Zeichnungen bis hin zu detailreichen, farbenfrohen Illustrationen.

Doch exzellente Qualität muss nicht unerschwinglich sein. Trotz meiner maßgeschneiderten Dienstleistungen und meiner Expertise bleiben meine Tarife wettbewerbsfähig. Ich arbeite mit transparenten Pauschalangeboten, die den gesamten Produktionszyklus abdecken, sodass Sie stets den Überblick behalten und vor versteckten Kosten geschützt sind. Klare Meilensteine sorgen zudem dafür, dass jedes Projekt seinen geplanten Zeitrahmen einhält.

Ihre Botschaft verdient es, im Mittelpunkt zu stehen. Ob Produktpräsentationen, Service-Demonstrationen oder Geschäftsprozess-Erläuterungen – auf meine Expertise können Sie zählen. Nehmen Sie Kontakt auf, besprechen Sie ein unverbindliches Angebot mit mir und lassen Sie uns gemeinsam dafür sorgen, dass Ihre Inhalte nicht nur gesehen, sondern auch in Erinnerung bleiben.
