Playing with Ambigrams
An ambigram is a graphical design that spells out a word not only as presented, but also in another direction or orientation. On this case when the word is rotated 180°.

I decided that this was an interest art form after reading Dan Brown's book Angels and Demons.

I really enjoy new challenges and played with several names. For this exercise I used Kaiserziet Gotisch as the font basis for each of these designs.


Jesse - my oldest son

I like way Jesse's name turned out, it was fairly straightforward and required very little modification or tweeking after the initial resolution of the letter forms.


Beth - his girlfriend

Beth, on-the-other-hand, was much more difficult. Trying to get the "B" and the "H" to read correctly when rotated 180° was much more challenging.
