Group assignment¶
This time, I work with my groupmates together to design a Cat Eye (interactive cat toy) for playing with cat. CLICK HERE for the detailing of group assignment page.
Individual assignment¶
I am response for video taking for recording the whole building and testing process, so that I can create the 1 minute video. Also, I create a logo for our group project.
Logo Design¶
- The outlook eye means it able to monitor cats playing situation since all cats are crazy in playing laser pointer
- The cat outlook means this device is made for CATS
- This is the project name
These are the reasons of the logo meaning, so that people are easy to recognise our project.
Video taking and making video¶
I am using Adobe Premiere and PowerPoint to make a video.
If there are lots of photos and words description, I will be use PowerPoint. It is because PowerPoint much more easier for arranging the layout and aligning. Although Adobe Premiere is able to do the same function, I think it is more difficult and spend more time to do it.
Finally, you click File –> Export, you may choose export as JPEG or MP4. After that, you can put in in Adobe Premiere later on become one fo the footage.
This is how I work in Adobe Premiere.
These is final version of the video.
