      For my sunglasses I wanted to create a shape that was classic and could be worn on a daily occasion.  I wanted the glasses to have a big boxy frame that creates a lot of coverage over your eyes.  I also wanted them to be pretty conserved and not very flamboyant.
      For my process I started with the curves for the lenses.  I used crv2view with another arc  to create the curve.  Then I extruded that curve and split it with the first extruded curve to add body to the glasses.  for the lenses I extruded the inside curve a small amount and then joined it to the rest of the frame.  I made the legs of the glasses in the same manner.  I then created a hinge to connect them all together so they would function correctly.
      For materials I chose a black plastic.  I chose this because it is a very common color and I feel it compliments the style of the glasses well.  I went with a textured black plastic on the inside to create more friction on your head and hopefully this will allow them to stay on and not fall off.  For the lenses I went with a clear grey plastic. On the hinges I used chrome to add strength.
