Blog Assignment 2 (The Continuing Curve)

The straight line. The best example that comes to mind of the continuing curve is the big flat trapezoidal shape of the Lamborghini Countach of the 70's-80's perfectly embodying this straight line design as a beautiful car.

And opposed to this would be the latest creation by Lamborgini the Aventador which is a much more fluid form with all these flowing curves and surfaces really showing how the curve is beautiful.

And the Countach really was the beauty of its time as its name is literally an exclamation Italion men make usually when they see a gorgeous women. It was the pin up car on boys walls all across the world as the ultimate object that they all dreamed to have. Whereas these days when we see a car with all the straight lines and not a single curve we think old and outdated. Curves are the latest definition of stunning form as we can see in the 2012 Aventador. Though there is the odd straight line as almost a throw back to the old design this is where we are at the moment and in ten to 20 years we will probably see a lot more flat shapes and forms in whatever we are driving.
