more reference

Some more reference material that inspired my design, was the animations by Lobo, posted a few weeks back. The short clips for Target commercials led me to adopt a similar basic 2 colour scheme style. The red and white used in the Lobo videos was appealing, but i chose my own colours, finishing with a navy blue and white layout, which i used consistently throughout the whole project(DVD menu, packaging etc.)

some reference material

At the following address, I found some useful information and diagrams relating to the brain and how it is affected by injury or disease. These digital animations helped me to create a similar simulation of the functions of the brain, however my brain animation was not intended to be accurate.

"Heroes" Claire Bennet, healing power

Claire can spontaneously regenerate any tissue in her body, allowing her to recover from almost any injury within seconds to minutes, though she does need to have foreign objects, such as a branch or a shard of glass, manually removed from her body and bones pushed back into position for the wounds to heal properly. Various characters in the series imply that having her brain removed would permanently kill her. In addition to simple healing, Claire has been shown to regenerate extremities. In the second season episode "Lizards", she experiments with the limits of her powers, cutting off a toe. A new toe rapidly grows into place. Her blood, when injected into others, temporarily grants them similar powers.
Between her tolerance for pain and seemingly unlimited healing potential, Hayden Panettiere compares her character to the X-Men character Wolverine

Healing factor

A healing factor is a term used to describe the ability of some characters in fiction to recover from bodily injuriess or disease at a superhuman rate. The term itself is most commonly applied to comic book characters in the Marvel Universe, although other quickly-regenerating characters exist.

The efficiency of a character's healing factor, as with all "powers", varies frequently, depending on the situation and the writer writing it, with, as a story is being told, drama being the key factor. Broad displays of artistic license have often led to debates among fans of particular comic book characters that have superhuman rates of healing, such as Wolverinee, Deadpool, Sabretooth, Hulk, etc, as to which comic characters heal faster, or exactly which level their healing factors are.

This is the style i am basing my project on. A basic 2 colour theme.

posthuman

This project initially gave me the idea of a superhuman theme. Similar to that seen on the tv show "Heroes."
-superhuman - resilience
-brain power to evolve over time.
-our bodies may remain the same over time, but it's the brain that has to adapt/change/evolve.
-will we be able to heal oursleves in time?

We are already posthuman- people are already so integrated with technology in the developed world and without it we would find it hard to survive (taken from the project 1 brief)
-technology will not overtake us
