Our idea was to show the overexaggerated reality of what is deemed 'perfect' in the society that we live in. Our ideas circalated around the purity and the immorality, we are yet to discuss how we should show that, however in the next slides there are some pictures to visualise our ideas.

We made a link to some of the famous movies that already touch onto the future reality of making the poor poorer and the rich richer. The idea of money and beauty goes hand in hand, the rich have the ability to become who they want and how they want to look. Great example of that is movie "Hunger games" where there is clear separation between the rich and the poor, that links to the idea we discussed earlier about the pure people ( the people of the 12 districts ) and those immoral that want to make themselves look pure ( the capitol ).

Another movie that sparked our idea tiltled "how far is too far" was the movie Little Marmaid. Ariel was willing to give up a part of her, in return for feet just to feel like she fits into the social norms and escape what was thought by others to be atypical and monsterous.

Maria Jose Cristerna's striking appearance may generate gasps, but the 35-year-old tattoo artist reportedly says a horrific history of domestic violence triggered her decision to re-invent herself as a "vampire."

Cristerna recently showed off a new set of titanium "horn" implants -- along with dental "fangs" and multiple facial piercings -- at a Monterrey tattoo exhibition, but insists she lives a normal life. "The horns I have are a symbol of strength and were implanted without anaesthetic," the Catholic-raised mother-of-four tells the Sun proudly. "I had the fangs done because I loved vampires as a little girl and I changed the colour of my eyes so they were how I really wanted them to be.'

Yet Cristerna's transformation is still not complete: she says she wants to have more titanium horns implanted in the back of her head. "Tattooing is my way of being immortal, of really being a vampire and not dying -- leaving my work on other people's skin."

Day 2 was focused on a task called “finding signal” where we had to find a signal - a current issue or rising in popularity topic and predict the future from it.

The whole exercise was done with help of Henry Crooke and Libby Miller from BBC. It’s aim was to shown us methods and techniques for producing stories about future.

We wanted to design a company who would perform these body modifications. They are a huge global company, conglomerate (think as large as apple). The logo is a butterfly- to represent the process of change and becoming a ‘new you’ much like a caterpillar-butterfly.

More inspiration for our transformation stage when characters want to modify a part of their body. This process takes a week to complete. The body part will break down and form a desired one that the person chose prior. During this week they go to a special location where they have this set up. The week also includes the healing time so there is no after care needed. The whole process happens in these pods with mucus like substance.

Growing features in  a way a caterpillar becomes a butterfly

# data[].attributes.body
We like the way that the caterpillar transitions to a butterfly. When the caterpillar is in the cocoon it breaks down on a cellulose level and recomposes itself into a butterfly. The exoskeleton in our case will be the pod, filled with a sticky, mucus like substance that will break down the body part that they want to change and the replacement will grow from there. e.g cat ears.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
The metamorphosis from caterpillar to butterfly is one of the most iconic transformations in nature.

So what exactly happens during this complicated process?

Stage 1: Egg

All butterflies start as tiny eggs-each about the size of a pin-that female butterflies deposit on leaves in small clusters. Eggs typically gestate for about a week or two, at which point they hatch into butterfly larva.

Stage 2: Larva

Almost all insect species go through larval stages. Fly larvae, for instance, are commonly known as maggots. Butterfly larvae-more commonly known as caterpillars-are more charismatic than most of their cohorts.

Caterpillars are notoriously voracious, consuming grass, leaves, and other plant material as they grow up to 1,000 times their original birth weight. While some species binge and blow up in just a few weeks, others take longer to develop. The wood-eating Carpenter Worm is actually a caterpillar that can take as long as three years to grow out of its larval state.

No matter how long it takes, each caterpillar is eating to prepare for the next stage in its life cycle, when it will put those calories to use to power a startling transformation.

Stage 3: Pupa

The next stage of a butterfly's life cycle takes place inside a chrysalis, the last expression of the caterpillar's exoskeleton. While it may not look like much to the naked eye, there are incredible processes occurring in this motionless casement. The caterpillar will break down entirely on a cellular level, and then reorganize itself into a new form. The result is an adult butterfly that emerges from exoskeleton after a period of several weeks. In the video below, Associate Director of Living Exhibits Hazel Davies offers a detailed explanation of this amazing process.

Stage 4: Adulthood

Adult butterflies leave behind their chrysalis and take to the air on their new wings. Once they reach this stage of life, butterflies spend most of their time looking for a mate, and they may not have long. On reaching adulthood, many butterfly species live for less than a month.

When butterflies succeed in finding a mate, another batch of fertilized eggs is produced and the cycle begins anew.

Character Generator

The aim of Character Generator is to help you create rich characters for use in fiction.

How to create the perfect character

1. Choose a category.

2. Give us some keywords to play with or choose some filters.

3. We write character charts for you.

Masterpiece Generator refers to a set of text generator tools created by Aardgo. The tools are designed to be cool and entertain, but also help aspiring writers create a range of different media, including plots, lyrics for songs, poems, letters and names. Some generated content parodies existing styles and artists, whilst others are based on original structures.

Our first generator, Song Lyrics Generator was launched in 2002 as a student magazine project. After it proved popular, we expanded to include plots, and the project grew from there.

We're proud to see work we've helped you create pop up on blogs and in fun projects. We enjoy watching you read your creations on YouTube. We're currently developing a cool app based on our site.

The year is 2223, 'Anibody' is quickly becoming a popular company and almost 50% of the population have animalistic body modifications.

As the world changes drastically due to vast climate changes which have been left unsolved, Anibody sees this as an opportunity to reach new audiences and sell new modifications which will help the human race survive these new extreme conditions.

This is where the 'Anibody: Underwater Edition' is introduced...

In the year of 2222, body modifications have been taken to a new extreme. Going from today’s standard boob/lips and Botox jobs, having animalistic body traits has become the new norm. For 5 generations, these modifications have only grown more and more over the years. Some people in the real life today already see the appeal of this, such as the Vampire Lady, Maria Jose Christerna. In our future world, it all started off as simple change of people’s traits such as adding cat ears or a tail, but now people are seeing the appeal of changing their bodies completely to turn into the animal of their choice.  The growth of these modifications has made it not only difficult to conceive a child, but the children that are being born are now being born with some of the modifications of their parents. These modifications are not only an aesthetic change as people thought they would be from the beginning, but they are now effecting their actual genes. We are at the point in this story where the company ANIBODY is refusing its their fault that babies die only a few minutes after they are born and stand by their slogan, Become anybody, with ANIBODY!

Anibody Underwater Edition Advert (Mock-up)

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
This is an imaginative recreation of Vogue in the year 2222 inspired by the IKEA catalogue we were shown in class. It sparked many ideas as part of our world building and decided to pursue it as part of our project. It looks at products that would be around in the life of someone like Xavier.

From editors picks to ads from the company Anibody, sponsors, and clinic for body modifications that help transform the higher population into the next trend.

ANIBODY: UNDERWATER EDITION

Like any company, Anibody would release special editions and new products to keep up with it's audiences current needs.

This is why I have decided to look at a different side of the story by making a separate advert which will be promoting the new 'upgrade' which the company are introducing.

The new 'Anibody Underwater Edition' or 'Anibody UE' for short, will feature a modification which allows people to have 'gills on their necks, allowing them to breathe underwater, just like fish.

The product will be marketed as "Benefiting your safety and ridding restrictions when visiting the underwater cities". This is because in the year 2222 more cities are going underwater due to climate change. This means that people have to adapt and live in cities as they normally would but under the sea!

Concept Art For My Advert:

Mock-up Advert:

This advert also has a creative twist, adding a 'what if' aspect, giving us a mysterious question to whether 'Anibody' is really who they say they are!
