Assignment 3: Comic Strip
Task
Your assignment is to create a 3 A3 size comic strip which describes events related to your daily life, special occasions and events in your campus. Your project can range from talking about scenes in a classroom, completing an assignment, preparing for an exam, waiting outside a lecture hall or any interesting incidences that is taking place in your campus. Your comic strip may be illustrated, or you can print characters to glue on your comic strip. You may also cut out your characters from a magazine or newspaper. You may even do a combination of illustrations and cut-outs from the Simpsons to NBA basketball players. Just because I say comic strip does not mean that your characters have to be cartoon characters. You may base it on your favorite TV show, literary characters, or even invent your own. This group assignment should consist of 4 to 5 people per group.

This is the assignment that I prefer the most as I could communicate my ideas with my group mates to create the story line for the comic. I am also very glad that I can help out with the drawing part in this assignment to express our thoughts and ideas and also to show our understanding of this module that we have learned throughout the entire semester. Through this assignment, I found out I have covered up all the topics that I have learned to choose the best topic to create this comic. Lastly, I have also improved my communication skills tremendously during our discussions and also presentation.
