For this assignment I really struggled with what 'tour' I could give. I tried really hard to think of a physical location I could tour that would relat to my final project (pattern drafting) and all I could come up with was a fabric store, but I knew I didn't want to do that because it couldn't be super useful to people in other locations since all fabric stores are organized differently, plus the lighting was bad. I considered doing a fabric tour where I would buy a variety of different types of fabrics and make t-shirts out of them all to show how different fabric looks as a t-shirt but I knew I wouldn't have time to do that (and it would be pretty expensive). I asked my professor if she felt a measurement tour would be appropriate and she though it could work so I proceeded forward with that. I am a stay at home mom right now with my boys and I know to get good photos they need to be taken during the day in natural light, so I set up the tripod and took the photos. Since the rubric for this assignment stated we should include a variety of media, I thought I would do a video to go along with the images. Originally I was separating the video into separate videos for each of the measurements but iMovie kept crashing so I decided to just edit one video and link to the different segments. In my powerpoint presentation for the measurements, I thought it would be fun if I could show a little preview of the video with the link buttons so people could see a bit of the video (to help them determine if it was something they needed to watch). I knew video files would be way too big (making the file size too large) so I thought I would create gif files instead. Well it turns out simply converting to a gif does not save much room in terms of file size. It took me a lot of editing with pixel with, cropping and adjusting photos to get the gifs down to a manageable size and after I did all that and put them into the powerpoint I thought they might be too distracting, since my eye kept getting drawn to the gif as I was reading. My professor had a great idea to just loop the gif once, but I had no idea how to do that. It took me about a week to gather up the courage to try to figure out how to do that and I thought I had it but could not get powerpoint to follow the loop once rule. I eventually gave up on powerpoint and switched over to google slides. My gifs finally worked in google slides, but I had to reformat a few of the buttons because the spacing allowed in google slides was not the same as powerpoint, and all of the internal links broke. I am happy with the final product, despite the complications. You can view it by clicking here. Here was my first draft:
