Sketches

The concept of this design is to have available a fun and flattering pair of sunglasses. These are fashionable glasses that give away to the unattractive middle bar in between your nose. These glasses are secure to your face and can even boast as an effective sport sunglass. I wanted to design something attractive and classic looking.

I traced my object after using the PictureFrame command. To trace I used tools like the control point curve and then used sweep2 to create the wrap around headpiece. To create the glass part I extruded the traced shape of the star from my sketch. Then I used the cap planar hole command to create a surface for the glass. I then copied the made star to create an identical shape. I placed the pieces together and joined them to create a solid form from my design.

The Materials I chose to use are a purple tinted glass and a carved bronze. The bronze makes the sunglasses appear to be expensive looking however are made of brass which makes this an affordable product. This piece was made for the thrifty and stylish fashionista.
