I am passionate about making ambigrams from last 7 years, since I was in school. So i'm feeling really pleased to present you with my passion-art-project on AMBIGRAMS Ambigram is a form of typography where you can read a same/ sometimes different word in two dimensions, usually when rotated through 180*. Also known as: Vertical Palindromes (1965), Designatures (1979), Inversions (1980) This art is a blend of Typography, Symmetry & Optical illusions In spite of visiting online ambigram generators on the net, I was not satisfied because I failed to get all ambigram characters to allow us to easily create words on our own. So I decided to make it on my own. Here I present the chart and the method to use it. DHAVAL’S AMBIGRAM FONT CHART All the charectors in the above chart are designed by me & it took me around a month & a lot of hardwork to complete with it. I know it’s not as perfect as it should be, but you can help to develop or replace the characters with better ones by mailing me your ideas on [email protected] *Create your own ambigram 1) Write a word (DHAVAL) 2) Write the same word in reverse order below the 1st word (LAVAHD) (You can also take the reverse of another word having same no. of alphabets) 3) Make Pairs (D-L, H-A, A-V, V-A, A-H, L-D) 4) Find the 1st part of the pair in the column & 2nd part in the row & note down the Character at the point of intersection (D-L) 5) Do it with all pairs & note all the intersections in the order of pairs. 6) Your ambigram is ready. Now you can customize & decorate your tattoo using your skills & creativity. 7) Ambigram of ‘Dhaval’ created by using Flipscript.com - online ambigram generator ONLINE RESOURCES FOR AMBIGRAMS FlipScript.com is a marvelous site by Mark Hunter which deals with Ambigrams.
