Design Something Every Day 29/365

For this entry into my Design Some­thing Every Day project I cre­ated a dig­i­tal doo­dle for one of the great­est books of the 20th Cen­tury, William Golding’s Lord of the Flies. The book pulls back the cur­tain of civ­i­lized soci­ety and explores the darker super­sti­tious and bes­tial side of human nature. It is truly a must read.

Lord of the Flies has had a very deep influ­ence on the cul­ture, with ref­er­ences and allu­sions in works as diverse as LOST, Sur­vivor, the Simpson’s. Two major film ver­sions  of the book have been pro­duced, the fair Harry Hook 1990 ver­sion and the far supe­rior 1963 Peter Brook clas­sic. You can watch the Brook’s film on YouTube, if you haven’t seen this dis­turb­ing film, please do, it is well worth it.
