Glarce Entry Revisited


I really wasnt proud of my Glarce Academy entry so here I have refined my design a bit more to better suit my design intent. Unfortunately I have not had time so far this week to make a model but I am close to that stage.

My thought for this design is that the top trim piece is similar to the one from the Smooth Operators from the last assignment except that instead of having a separate bridge, it is all made of one piece. The lens frames slot into the trim piece and support the lenses. These would be screwed into the trim in a similar way also. I wondered if the lens frames could be open at the top so that the lenses can be easily be removed and changed when the frame is unscrewed. 

The arms, trim and lens frames will all be made of plastic. I would like to incorporate the nose grip into the lens frames.

I added an embossed line detail that follows the arms and trim, giving a bit more visual interest to the shape.
