Make your own Ambigrams
Mar 6th
It has always been fun to write my name in a way that it reads the same (or something else) when turned upside down.
Instead of hours of brainstorming and doodling on paper you could try using FlipScript, which makes ambigrams automatically. The sad part is that it doesn’t let you have a high resolution version of the ambigram it makes for you, unless you are ordering something from their website. Still, it gives an idea on how to proceed with your doodles and saves you from the inefficient brainstorming.
note: Sometimes, when it is possible to make it into a single word, flipscript does it automatically. eg: textbox1: Friends; textbox2: Family.

Create a font of your own handwriting
Dec 19th
Presently Font Capture is a totaly free service. It allows you to make a font of your own handwriting. You just need a printer and a scanner. No extra software needed.
First Step: print the template, where you write in the letters in your hand writing. [download the template]
Second Step: Take care of the ascenders, descenders and the baselines (basic typography terms). Some letters, such as ‘g’ or ‘q’, descend to the descender line. Uppercase letters typically have their highest point on the ascender. write in your letters. I would suggest using a pencil at first and then a black pilot pen for the final entry.
Third Step: Upload the completed font template. Scan it in grayscale 300DPI and in PNG format (better). [Upload]
