I use illustrator or photoshop.. doesn't matter.. these programs allow me to manipulate and NOT ERASE and waste paper
.
What i did with Daniel's ambigram was type out his name (no spaces), then duplicated the name on another layer and turned it 180. So the "D" of Daniel is sitting on top of "N" in Madison. Looking at them next to each other, I tried to make the letters fit together any means necessary.
The trickiest part of Daniel's was making the "EL" in Daniel become the "D" in Madison. Thankfully it was quite simple just by looking at it. I say tricky because it's hard enough to make one letter turn over to be another.. but 2?? The madness!
O's are the hardest to do because they'll only fit maybe 5% of the alphebet.
So now you know just an idea of how they're created, maybe you guys and gals may appreciate them more
THANK YOU J!!
