What you'll learn

  • Students will have an insight on how to make their own ambigrams to explore this art form by themselves.

Course content

1 section • 7 lectures • 44m total length

  • Lecture 1: Introduction5:09

    An introduction to the instructor, ambigrams and their types

  • Lecture 2: Your first ambigram9:54

    In this tutorial, we'll understand the "line technique" and learn how to make a simple ambigram by using the same. 

    We'll design ambigrams of the words 'magic' and 'peace'.


    The "Line chart" that we referred to in this video, is available for reference

  • Lecture 3: Point of symmetry10:31
  • Lecture 4: Multi-word ambigrams9:21

    In this video, we explore how to make an ambigram for a pair of words

  • Lecture 5: Multi-lingual ambigrams5:03

    In this video, we'll cover multi-word ambigrams, such that the words are from different languages

  • Lecture 6: Single orientation ambigrams2:49

    So far we've seen multi-word ambigrams where rotation reveals a new word. But is rotation really necessary ?

  • Lecture 7: Summary and Closing1:45

    This final video will summarize the topics covered and bring the tutorial to a close

Requirements

  • This course does not require specialized knowledge in any field

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:

  1. Single word ambigrams- which look like the same word when rotated.
  2. Multi-word ambigrams- which look like a different word when rotated.
  3. Multi-lingual ambigrams- which look like a word in a different language when rotated.
  4. Single orientation ambigrams- which do not need to be rotated.

Who this course is for:

  • The audience to this course can belong to any age group.
