What is AMBIGRAM


What is AMBIGRAM?



Most of the designs I make contains an AMBIGRAM, so to get the most out of the designs You need to know what this is



An AMBIGRAM is a word or phrase that can be read in more than one way


Most of my AMBIGRAMs are ROTATIONAL, which means that You can read the same word/phrase (or a different word/phrase) when You turn the design upside down


There are also lots of other types of AMBIGRAMs, for example:

MIRROR – You read the same (or a different) word/phrase when You mirror the design

NEGATIVE SPACE – You read another word/phrase in the space around the letters

PERCEPTION – You can perceive different words/phrases just by looking at the design


Have a look at some samples below

rotational ambigram suns

ROTATIONAL AMBIGRAM - suns

Will read "suns" even if You turn it upside down

NEGATIVE SPACE AMBIGRAM - OLD / NEW

The design reads "OLD", the negative space reads "NEW"

MIRROR AMBIGRAM - bud

Will read "bud" even if You mirror it around the vertical axis

PERCEPTION AMBIGRAM - B / 13

You can read this design as a "B" but also as "13"
