It's an ambigram. If you spin the word upsidedown it spells the other.

I can read it, the fact that it is hard to read suits the concept I think..
castle

I'm going to fill that empty space in the center with something

I had a notebook almost full of ones I was playing around with, but I left it on a bus.

...ambigram. i'm so happy i saw this. i've never heard of or thought of an 'ambigram'. i like writing in mirrior reverse though. i don't know why.

i got the first part- it looks real nice though
staffell
staffell on Jan 19 '07 at 4:53am
if you clean it up, i'm sure it will become clearer

I see "Question Reality" and I give you props because ambigrams are hard to do. but yeah, i had trouble with reading reality, but all you have to do is see each letter by the separations between them
castle
   castle on Jan 19 '07 at 2:00pm
is there a certain part of reality?
sonmi
   sonmi on Jan 19 '07 at 2:02pm
awesome! the problem i have with the "reality" is that it looks like there's an "S" after "A"... which i know came from the question
mooseinmyshoe
mooseinmyshoe on Jan 19 '07 at 2:06pm
yeaaa, that's where my problem was. the "i" looks like an "s"
mooseinmyshoe
mooseinmyshoe on Jan 19 '07 at 2:07pm
but im retarded, so i still don't see the "i", but i like it anyway. i could never do those. id try and then get bored
castle
   castle on Jan 19 '07 at 2:15pm
thanks - there is definitely an "s" after the "a"

.....but you see an "s" where the "i" is?

the top loop of the "L" makes the dot for the "i"
castle
   castle on Jan 19 '07 at 3:09pm
revised "s"
staffell
staffell on Jan 19 '07 at 3:11pm
worse, it's impossible to see the 's' on question now....damn that's a predicament
melhel86
melhel86 on Jan 19 '07 at 3:15pm
yeah I spent way to long searching for an "s" in question. This is a predicament.
castle

update: i think this is the best version so far
ladykat
ladykat on Jan 19 '07 at 3:52pm
I agree! SUB SUB SUB!
lunchboxbrain
lunchboxbrain on Jan 19 '07 at 3:56pm
the update works well. kudos!
melhel86
melhel86 on Jan 19 '07 at 3:57pm
much much better.
sonmi
   sonmi on Jan 19 '07 at 3:58pm
sweet!

the Y at the end of reality was another one that's slightly odd. i think the leg of the Q might still look okay if you bring it in more... if that makes sense? to make the top of the Y more pronounced?
staffell
staffell on Jan 19 '07 at 4:16pm
i still think you need to curve that little bit round to form the whole S...it shouldn't suffer too much on the A i don't think
castle
   castle on Jan 19 '07 at 4:21pm
I had it there but erased it after I scanned because all I could see was the "s" now.

fixed the "y" - thanks sonmi

does anyone know if the rules let you vector the hand drawn type?

PLACEMENT?
MeLa de Gypsie
MeLa de Gypsie on Jan 20 '07 at 3:55am
it's so difficult to create an ambigram... you have my kudos...
castle
   castle on Jan 20 '07 at 4:09am
thanks
castle
   castle on Jan 20 '07 at 5:30am
is this gif annoying?

or helpful?
staffell
staffell on Jan 20 '07 at 5:37am
not annoying, but it's a shame you had to compromise some of the quality on the models
mooseinmyshoe
mooseinmyshoe on Jan 20 '07 at 9:04am
i ficken love it. it looks a lot easier to read now. i like the placement because it says something about reality. like, since it's not just...uh..normal? im not really sure what im saying, but i like it a lot
