Ambigram

I just recently finished reading "Angels & Demons" (a fictional novel) by Dan Brown. I was very fascinated by the ambigrams in the book. An ambigram, also sometimes known as an inversion, is a graphical figure that spells out a word not only in its form as presented, but also in another direction or orientation.

I decided to have a go at creating an ambigram of my own. An ambigram of my name "Kirthy". It turns out; it's not that hard as it seems. You just need to understand the trick behind creating it and of course, use some creativity.



Try viewing the image rotated 180 degrees; you will be able to still read my name. It's probably easier if you print it and then try!
