Project is inspired by the shadow that cast through the blinds of my windows, the strong contrast of black and white projected on the wall fascinates me.

It creates a classic chic black patterns on the bare skins, like arts.

This have inspires me wanted to create something that could bring this shadow arts into our daily lifes.

And here I presents you - The Shades A changable parts of sunglasses, allows you to tailor your own shades to fit your everyday outfit.

Experimenting with the mock up, to test out the design under the light to see the shadow casting.

In order to allow the product to be more customize friendly, I wanted to add in the feature of the frames to be detachable.

User can change their frames according to their preferences or matching with their outfit of the day.

To get the right measurements, I decided to try use 3D scan and using ReSurf to scan the product in using the mesh point.

However, during the process of scanning, it occurs there was a scanning error, and the process was very time consuming, therefore, I moved on with measuring it manually.
