When I first approached this project I was compelled by the idea of making glasses modeled after ski goggles. The Storm Goggles are sleek shades that are both comfortable and protective. A wide lens allows for greater visibility as well as protection from the elements. Keeping with their name the Storm Goggles are designed to protect the active consumer from any natural deterrents of their outdoor activities.
For this project the main tools I used were "curve from two views" and "sweep2". I also made use of mirror, extrude, project, trim, fillet edge, join edge, cap planar holes and boolean union. Using the bitmaps from the picture frame command I was able to easily draw the curves necessary for my design. However, once my initial curves were drawn I had no use for the reference images.
For the materials of this design I chose a mostly black color scheme to reinforce the mentality of durability and protection. I accented the goggles with Yellow, a color usually associated with warning or caution. The lightning bolt logo on the side was made a darker orange to contrast with the other materials while remaining a color associated with danger.
