Introduction

I originally (as seen in my proposal) wanted to do three separate looks and base them as an editorial online. My idea was to create three different make-up looks based on three different planets, I did a lot of research on the different surfaces of each planet to come up with different looks that would work for each, for example, as it rains diamonds on Saturn, I was going to create an alien look involving diamonds coming out of the body from under the skin. I also wanted to create a reptile look for Mars, due to it being very dusty but having some evidence that there has been water there at some point. The last planet I picked was Venus, as there are volcanoes and eruptions, the look being one incorporating ash, burns and lava. I was having a lot of issues when coming up with the designs for the different looks due to the fact that I wanted each of them to look very different. I think I struggled with this as I have never before created three different extreme looks like this involving special effects. I found it was a little bit too much for me.

I have since decided that I would prefer the idea of setting up a file so that it looks genuine, as though it is a real classified government file.. I decided it would be better to do one in detail look than try to do three different ones as I was struggling with coming up with in depth ideas that were very different to each other.

 I wanted my project to be based around the UFO crash conspiracy in Roswell and what happened in Area 51. I had been reading through different accounts of people who had claimed to work there, watched films and documentaries about it and did a lot of research into the real details that have been released.
