Description
An ambigram of a word is legible even when it is read from a different orientation, either when rotated upside down or when viewed in a mirror.
Popular examples of ambigrams are seen in the novel "Angels & Demons" by Dan Brown, notably the ambigram of the "Illuminati" cult and those of the 4 elements - 'Earth', 'Air', 'Fire' and 'Water'.
The Latin script wasn't designed to be legible when read upside-down, which makes the idea of designing an ambigram of a word seem really difficult...at first.
This 45-minute course shares a technique to make rotational ambigrams; which are legible even when read upside down. It will cover the following forms of rotational ambigrams:
- Single word ambigrams- which look like the same word when rotated.
- Multi-word ambigrams- which look like a different word when rotated.
- Multi-lingual ambigrams- which look like a word in a different language when rotated.
- Single orientation ambigrams- which do not need to be rotated.

Saransh Kejriwal
Self-taught Action-figures & ambigram designer
I currently work as a Product Manager at an MNC, but I'm keen to explore new forms of arts and musical instruments in my spare time.
I discovered how to make ambigrams in 2012 through pure trial and error.
Since then, I've explored different forms of ambigram design, including multi-lingual ambigrams and ambigrams in other languages.
For Action figure sculpting, I've tried multiple materials, like paper, plastic, tape, wood...before narrowing down on cotton thread as a pliable material and coming up with a repeatable technique to make sturdy action figures.
Though I've pursued these art forms, purely as a hobby, I look forward to sharing my knowledge and experience with my peers, and learn from them in the process.

Good course if you have no idea about ambigrams.
Interesting subject, well planned lessons, good use of time. I would recommend this instructor to others, he sticks to subject matter and presents it in reasonable amount of time
