Overview:
Our assignment was to design a helmet for practical use. I believed that we were given this project not make a perfect helmet, but to learn how to use 3D design software. The program we used is called Autodesk Fusion 360. At the beginning it was fairly complicated, but as my instructor warned us; it was much easier to use after watching the tutorial videos.

Conclusion/Reflection:
At first, I was not a huge fan of this project because I was having a plethora of different technical difficulties. Eventually, once my helmet began to take shape, I started warming up to the assignment. Now that I'm finished I am very happy that we got to do this. I enjoyed how everyone got to use their personal creativity to create their own masterpiece. My design is similar to my sketches, but differs slightly. Once I was comfortable with the software, I began to play around with it and made some small changes to my original design. If I were to change anything now I would have dulled some of the sharp edges on my helmet. In conclusion, I am thrilled that I now know how to use a 3D design program.
