URMI VISHAL

Before I begin with anything. .
My Heart filled wishes to the couple "Urmi and Vishal" on their wedding and hoping the best for you both today and forever, A very Happy Married Life!!

This ambigram was seriously difficult when I started a few weeks back. Also I had a deadline for it as I was leaving on 12th for the wedding and it was very important that I finish on or before that day. But till the 11th night I still didn't have a proper solution. What ever I managed was all messy and I almost reached the verge of dropping the idea of making one.
So on the 12th morning, I reached office well before time (not my usual type). Since I reached early, I had time till everyone settled down so I gave my one last shot. I just couldn't believe it. . got the solution in a few seconds making me feel silly for all these while trying to make one.
It just seemed like my lucky day. . half the office was empty which meant I could complete the ambigram on the computer without any one noticing me.

Hoping that they like it. And once again All the Best wishes to them. . Cheers!!

AMBIGRAMS

I was getting bored of my blog appearance for a while and since it was sunday I thought of doing something new with it.
I started off with the ambigram of the word "ambigram". Since it was done by many and I basically had in my mind how the others have done it, so I was ending up doing the same as others.
Not getting satisfied, I then decided to do with the word "ambigrams". Initially I started off with a rotational ambigram and even though I did it but then dropped that idea as it would take time to complete it on the computer. So finally I tried a mirror ambigram which happened to be my first attempt on it. I just got the solution in a matter of few seconds.
Now I had to choose simple fonts and modify to complete it. So I simply took the arial and verdana font. In the end really satisfied with it.

AMMAR


This ambigram is completely adapted from John Langdon's ambigrams of 'AIR' and 'WATER'. .
The idea of using this ambigram struck me when i was showing my brother some of John Langdon's work. . That the above ambigrams gave me a perfect combination for this one. .

SALMAN AHMED


Finally after 2 days of struggling. . kept it similar to the salman ambigram with just little additions. . the 'S' and 'D' combination was taking time. . Thanks to my brother Saad who approved this combination. .

HASSAN


While doing the Salman ambigram. . i got a solution for "Hassan". . it was very simple and easy. .

NOAMAAN


I had made this some 6 months back n completely forgot about giving final touches. . so finally i just did it. . Again the design is inspired by Nagfa's "BAMBER" ambigram. . wherein the style of 'M' similar to the one used in Nagfa's "BAMBER" ambigram. . I am just in love with this style of typography and try use it as much as possible in my ambigrams. .

EHSAN AND BUSHRA


Its been a while that the blog got updated. . Just got busy with my brother's marriage and Alhamdulillah it all went good.
So here is this small present as an ambigram that I made specially for the married couple. Wishing them all the success and a happy married life.
I knew I had to make this one and it was on my list for quite sometime but got busy with marriage preparations and all.
But when I finally managed to get sometime out to make this ambigram, I never really thought I would struggle making this one, may be because I just wanted it to be perfect. So it took me over a week to get the ambigram finalise and a whole day to further making it right. What really took time was searching for the borders.
Before this blod gets dead. . I just need to update on regular basis. . Stills lots of ambigrams on the list. . Only problem is now I feel really really lazy making the final on the comp. .

KARTAR



I had made a couple of combinations but it just wasnt fitting in. . luckily i was reading 'angels and demons' again n while flipping through pages i came across the ambigram of 'earth' n simply just admiring the symmetry of it, i cracked the ambigram of 'kartar'. . its on a very similar lines to the 'earth' ambigram by John Langdon. .
though kartar had asked me for a psyched one. . i really didnt understand what it meant making a psyched ambigram. . but i think all ambigrams r psyched up. . n i guess the symmetry of it makes it even more. .

BASEER


For my first room mate in college. .
when i had first made this 2 years back. . it was nothing like this n was very complicated n difficult 2 read. . until recently i saw a "B and ER" combination a "NAGFA's" blog (visit the link mentioned on the right side). . n started thinkin whose name starts with 'B' nad ends with 'ER'. . now just looking at it. . its one of the most simplest n readible ambigram i have ever made . .
for ppl who really want ambigrams can visit Mark Palmer's http://www.wowtattoos.com/ and also for free ambigrams. . they have made an ambigram generator. . its cool but has its limitations as well. . if its not being made then ur hard luck. .

PRATEEK


This was done super fast. . hand done super fast. . clicked a snap of it. . photoshoped it n here is ur final work. . i guess it saves a lot of time but i guess i still like doing it in illustrator. . the best part of hand work is u can achieve the curves easily as for in comp its a pain taking tasks which only takes time 2 get it right. .

ASHIRWAD

This person gave me 3 requests. . so this is just the first one. .
i was making Deb sir's ambi. . as i was struggling with it. . i gave a try to this one. . it was intersing cos the page in which i was making this was filled with 'number 1'. . n thats what i used in 'W' to represent it like 'HI'. . rest seemed easy. . n when doing it in computer things kept on changing n finally i ended up finishing this. .
Hope u like it ASHIRWAD. . aur interesting trivia here. . "ASHIRWAD ke saath mera 50 ambigram complete ho gaya". i guess no better way to get blessed like this. .

DEBRAJ


I had been struggling with this ambigram for sometime. . so what i did was joined 'AJ' to look like 'D' when rotated. . so making 'B' look like 'B' in the centre. . i was left with yet another difficult task of 'E' representing 'R'. . so i got solution of it from a blog of "NAGFA's" where there was a similar solution so i just incorporated that in this. .
Deb sir was a senior of mine in collage n helped me out a lot. . so thought would make one for his birthday which was on 24th Jan. . Since i was struggling with this ambigram. . i kept it aside. .
so here it goes Happy B'day Deb sir once again!! hope u like it. .

AKHILA SHETTY

This was a request. . i had been asked by this person for AKHILA SHETTY earlier but thought with just do AKHILA. . As in SHETTY the 'Ts' n 'Y' would get messy. . so left it. . but after making AKHILA. . was asked 2 try n make of the whole name. . Seems like this person had been trying 2 make a full name one but it just kept getting messy. . so was asked 2 try. . i was coming with some solutions but was getting littled messed up. . after coming up with this the 'S' - 'L' was getting little difficult. . finally everything seemed 2 have worked well. .
By the way AKHILA. . sorry for delay n hope u like it. .
