finally it is done

I've been wanting to have my own ambigram ever since I read Angels and Demons. After loads of trial and error, I finally got it down on some lonely peice of scratch paper. I then planned to scan it an finetune the design on Photoshop, with the appropriate fonts. That took a million years.

So last week, I finally got down to business. I used the font type Beaverton and through a long and winding road of inverting, erasing and tweaking... it is here:

yuri: oh photoshop is the most enjoyable de-stresser. it's fun just to fiddle with all the effects. when i started learning, i just watched people who knew how to do photoshop render their stuff. and ask them what they were doing every 10 seconds. haha.

jairam: enjoy the book and thanks!

idealpink: madaling matuto, practice lang.

tonkits: well well well, may talent fee yan boyf!

nio: aba'y syempre mataray :)

buffy: if you must! solid gothic fonts are easier to manipulate. good luck!
