Blair Miller / UNITED STATES (As of October, 2004) I am a student at Purdue U., Indiana, originally from Rochester New York. I am a sophomore in the Industrial Design program and had transferred from the Mechanical Engineering program. Originally aspiring to design products from the engineer perspective, I learned of Industrial Design and found that it suited me better. When I graduate I hope to attain a job in product design, product sales, or management.

The Styl-On sunglasses concept is under category A, active and stylish. The most valuable aspect of these glasses is that they use a memory metal which is customed to the buyer and does not lose its shape. This property is what secures the frames to the person's face. In one easy step, the glasses are slid onto a face without doing any unfolding because the arms grasp their owner's temples.

Soft flexible rubber would be used in the temple supports and nose piece. The most crucial material in the concept is the memory metal, and the lenses can be made out of any sort of practical transparent, possibly polarized, plastic composite.
