Cartoons have been accepted as a medium of communication. Cartoon acts as an alternative communication tool not only to humor, but also help to stimulate reading interest among children. Its simplicity, minimal usage of text and interesting illustration, communicates a great deal of message. My objective is to create a unique style and local identity of cartoon character. The visual premise of the final project is to portray good values, cooperation and living hannoniously as Malaysian toward national unity and nation building.
