This is the comic that I made using toondoo:
I chose to write on the theme on "Work or Family?" because I find this problem very imminent in many Singaporean households. I also find this problem very serious and think that this should be eradicated from Singapore. Singapore is getting busier and busier, which results only in making people more stressed and tired. I believe that we should adopt the steps taken by countries such as Denmark, where there is a 4-and-a-half day week.
I tried to bring out the theme strongly in my comic by constantly putting John in office clothes. This represents his business and that he even thinks about work when he is at home. I also set half of the panels in the office and the other half at home, to show the struggle on prioritising certain things in our lives. I also put clocks in some panels to represent that time is important, thus we should treasure it and spend it on something worthwhile. This again brings out the theme on whether we should choose work or family as the number one priority. I also used various emotions for John, in order to bring out his character and his feelings at a specific point in time.
In conclusion, I find that this online learning task is very beneficial to me because it makes me think and reflect on how Singaporeans have become ever since the country placed a huge emphasis on business and industry. I hope to do something like this again!
