Final

After many test prints to get the page closely portraying as a part of Popular Mechanics magazine, I felt that it was an accomplishment to create a page that can blend in with the other pages visual wise. Now Cyborg Pigeons are part of the Tech Watch tab of Popular Mechanics.

Unfortunately, I could not find a paper that matches the paper that the Popular Mechanics magazine uses so I end up using plain printer paper which is the thinnest paper I could get.

The piece gives a journalist's story about the release of the Cyborg Pigeons, thought of and written by me and revised by Shona:

Wireless connection problems have always been around, with sudden disconnections or loss of signal strengths.

But not to worry, these Cyborg Pigeons are here to save the day.

The people from PigeTech have spent many years studying the pigeon and during this long period of exploration, their positivity in the potentiality of the pigeon has increasingly grown.

Cyborg Pigeons are able to identify electronic signals, which is exactly why they love to hang around wireless hotspots. These hotspots not only entice the pigeons but of course people who need to get connected, thus making it a double benefit for the pigeons, as where there are people there is always food.

With a great amount of research, PigeTech have created a metallic skeletal suit which can be implanted into the pigeons. Hence, when the pigeons rest on telephone poles they can gather electrons discharged from the wire. This way the electrons will be recycled by the pigeons and be used like resceptors to increase the range of wireless connections, increasing the power of signal strengths.

“Now everyone who uses wireless connection will love Cyborg Pigeons,” said Ian Kazensky, CEO of PigeTech, during an interview of the Cyborg Pigeon public release.

Working on the Magazine page

On Wednesday of May 5, 2010, I was working in Photoshop to create an x-ray view of the pigeon with the metallic cyborg skeleton.

Today, I'm creating a story background for the company that will be creating the Cyborg Pigeons called PigeTech and also working to get the page to look closely like the magazine of Popular Mechanics. Another thing I'll be working on is finding the page to print this on.

Here is the magazine that I will be working with:

3D Model Presentation

Today everyone gets to present their 3D Model of their creature for project 4.

Pretty much it is to remind everyone what idea I am working on and showing the model that represents the creature which mine is a skeletal form of the pigeon.

Now I just have to look for a magazine that will fit for my pigeon, something like a technology magazine or national geographic about the changes in nature.
