|

|
castle on Jan 24 '07 It is for JOT!
|
|
Love the design and the placement. Too cool; $5.
|
 |
kinda looks like "Question Redlito", but that's the price you pay for
it working both ways ... neat idea. |
 |
$5
|
|
good placement
|
|
supremely lovely. $5
|
 |
Fantastic design, well executed! 5
|
 |
Agreed, question reality, great sentence for very interesting typo.
|
 |
tomburns on Jan 24 '07 haha, awesome, i tried doing a bunch of these after i read 'angels & demons' the ones in there are so damn cool! great job!
|
 |
Very clever and works for headstands. 5
|
 |
staffell on Jan 24 '07 great idea, I think the execution could be a little better, but i guess time wasn't on your side....ambigrams are some of my favourite things in the world
|
 |
pretty wild.
|
|
shit. i just had this idea yesterday. well a different phrase because its something i made 2 years ago, but i guess now i dont have to waste time looking for it on my old computer...:P
|
 |
the ambigram idea is great it reminds me of the book angels& demons
|
 |
awesomely done.... very cool... 5
|
 |
really cool, especially for JOT
|
 |
whoa
|
|
amibigrams are COOL.
they're also really hard... the "Reality" reads well, but I'm seeing the top as "Qultion." that's the only weak part, the rest is really good. |
 |
veery very good
you have mad skillzzzzzzzzzz kudos!!! |
 |
Monkey II on Jan 24 '07 one of the best JOTs
|
 |
i like it on the blue shirt [from your blog]. $5
|
 |
Chengui on Jan 24 '07 I've worked on a few ambigrams myself. HARD!
Impressive job. Check out Jonlangdon.com if you havn't already. |
 |
sonmi on Jan 24 '07 i think this turned out great! i hope it prints! $5
|
 |
ur last couple of designs have all been ace! multiple print baby. 5$
|
|
Am I the only one that feels like it says Qustion? I just don't see an E in there...
|
 |
is it just me or is the no E in question?
|
|
castle on Jan 24 '07 lower case "e" based on the upside down "L"
|
 |
Holy hell.
Those are really hard to make. Good job. |
|
castle on Jan 24 '07 Thanks for all the support thus far.
With something like this, there always seems to be a dispute over clarity. It was funny during the development, how one person could read one word but not the other only to be contradicted by the next person viewing it. So keep the comments coming! The best thing I can hope for is that some people enjoy the design. Thanks Again for taking a look and scoring the work! |
 |
I love the shirt. It's hard to read, but once you get it it's really amazing work. I would buy this shirt right now if I could! $5!!
|
|
Also, I like the blue on blue and the brown on blue best. :)
|
 |
WOW! awesome job. consider me impressed.
|
 |
cleverrrrrrrrr. i love it $5
|
 |
you clever bastard... nice job!
|
 |
I have been longing for an ambigram t-shirt! Love this one but would love it more if the placement were horizontal instead of diagonal. Nevertheless, $5 for sure!
|
 |
FRICKINAWESOME on Jan 25 '07 Quite neat-oh castle. Boy, this JOT comphas really brought out everyone's creativity! Fantastic design that works well wherever the hell you wanna put it on the tee. 4$
|
 |
that hurt my eyes something feirce
|
 |
I am an ambigram whore - $5.
I'll be interested to see what colours the final version's available in. |
 |
this is awesome but a bit too much dan brown for me to wear. i've got mates that would though
|
 |
wow how in the world $4
|
 |
pretty damn cool!
|
 |
pretty kickass dude!
-p |
 |
very nice work
|
 |
that is amazing!
i love the blue on blue and the blue on brown! |
 |
goldkiss on Jan 25 '07 yes nice work
|
 |
Ambigrams are lovely. Whoo!
|
 |
I find this interesting. I would wear this. 4;
|
 |
wow, really well done. i like most of the color options. $5 from me
|
 |
I like the maroon and baby blue color combo. The link to your color options didn't seem to work.
Nice design, I would buy it. |
 |
this is impressive! 5$
|
 |
Amazing, but not the choice of colour sceme.
Black on grey or vise versa? |
 |
ambigrams are awesome, but this is not easy to read
|
 |
the u in question is well questionable. it there a way to adjust that without messing up the ambigram
|
|
reminds me of paul mccartney's chaos album artwork. they did the same thing. cool going.
|
|
castle on Jan 26 '07 That's a new one.
I hadn't thought the "u" was hard to read. Thanks for the all comments. |
|
i didn't have any trouble reading it at all - great design. 5$
|
 |
All ambigrams are in varying degrees of "difficult to read" , reference "The DaVinci Code"!!!
This is a wicked design and must have taken you a fair bit of time and empty hair follicles to execute. A very definite $5 from me. PRINT IT AND THEY WILL PURCHASE.... (me specifically) |
|
Like it, have dug that concept of the ambigram - it's tricky to execute. Not crazy about colors tho'.
|
|
LOVE IT!!! $$$$$5555
|
 |
impressive
|
 |
kick ass
|
 |
saweeeeeeettt
|
 |
absolutly love it!! i hope it wins because i want it!!
|
 |
Interesting.
|
 |
i almost missed this,
this looks like a lot of work. $5 |
|
$5... $10 if I could
|
|
castle on Jan 28 '07 Great response so far!
I can honestly say I wasn't expecting this many positive comments! Thanks |
 |
very nice!!! $5
|
|
this is way way cool!
|
 |
cool but where's the "s" in question? it looks like "quetion" (assuming that the upside down should be the "e")
|
|
i meant the upside down "L"
|
 |
I love the idea but its REALLY hard to read.
|
|
VERY VERY VERY nice work. You havce TOTALLY earned a $5
|
|
castle on Jan 29 '07 The "s" could not appear complete because it would read as an "s" upside down in the word reality. So, it is connected to the cross stroke of the "t" There is a break in it and it points to the bottom of the "e" where it curls inward, thus optically completing it.
It's based on the idea that if you cover up the bottom portion of the letters in a word, most people can still read the word. It's really the only way I found to get around it. |
 |
I design ambigrams on a commission basis, and this is not bad attempt really. The combination of upper and lower case letters can (should) be avoided in this (any) design in my humble opinion. A taming of the flourishes on certain letters would make it more legible as you intended. The design will certainly work better if all the letters are in upper case.
BTW, this is technically called a symbiotogram style ambigram. Just in case anybody wanted to know :) Worth a 5 for imagination, but my super finky attention to detail radar scores it a high 3 - get the design right and then it's a 5 for sure ;) |
|
castle on Jan 30 '07 thanks for the critique
|
 |
The style is very apt for the concept itself. first 5 i've given in months.
|
 |
These are very difficult to create, but I love it!
|
|
I hope this one scores well!
It really looks sweet on the shirt! Good luck Still $5 -p |
|
Hey Castle, don't know if you're aware if it, but there's an ambigram work group over at Flickr which myself and others continually add designs to. It would be good to see you there:
http://www.flickr.com/groups/ambigram/ |
|
So if you question reality, what question would you ask it?

My interpretation to this ambigram can found here:
http://www.flickr.com/photos/fourfingerfunk/375539767/ This is NOT meant to upstage the work done here BTW. I saw a solution which I think offers a different take on the initial idea. See what you think. |
