Raj came in to talk to us about his experience working with google. Google is probably what most would consider a dream job in our industry of choice. I expected to hear about a very professional environment with offices and elevators. To my surprise he spoke of a giant slide that goes from the top floor all the way down. He also mentioned a cog shaped room with hammocks for people to sleep in. Raj said that since his time at google he has been aloud to travel all around the world.
He spoke a lot about web development which is something that does not interest me but I defiantly loved the vibe he was giving about the working for the company and would defiantly be interested in a more creative role.
Google have a very simple visual design and user friendly interface. They have set the trend and can be overlooked because of the simple fact that they are Google. If another company were to brand themselves like Google and have a home page as simple and empty as Google they would probably be called out dated. That said, I think Google have also spearheaded the idea that less is more in digital design. More Digital Artists and Business Identities are using clean, smart and simple images to brand themselves.
