yah3, cool right that thing? ehehehe.
it’s actually from brother Rizuan Kejepunan. I was really curious the last time i saw his artwork for Hariz.
What is “AMBIGRAM”

“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. The text can also consist of a few words, and the the text spelled out in the other direction or orientation is often the same, but can also be a different text.”

Well, what i can describe here is Ambigram is a “calligraphic design that manages to squeeze two different readings into the selfsame set of curves.” When you turn it upside or downside, it still spell the same word. I really admire brother Rizuan work. so cool. You can easily do this when u master the to use the Adobe Illustrator sofware.

There’s several type of Ambigram such as:

• Rotational
• Mirror
• Figure-ground
• Chain
• Space-filling
• Fractal
• 3-dimensional
• Perceptual shift
• Natural

You can read more at Wikipedia.com actually. So here, i wanna show you some other brother Rizuan artwork for the other blogger.
