How to Make an Ambigram
There are many types of ambigrams, but the most basic is a visual representation of a word that when rotated 180 degrees (i.e. flipped both vertically and horizontally), spells the same word as before. This is called a rotational ambigram. With patience and creativity, you can turn any word into an ambigram.

[edit] Steps
1. Write out the word in print in the same case (e.g. all capital). For this guide, we'll make the word "wikihow" into an ambigram. You can use mixed cases, but it looks nicer when they are all the same.
2. Each letter will have a "partner" that it will need to be combined with to make the ambigram (W and W, I with O, K with H, etc.)
W I K I H O W
W O H I K I W
* In some cases, the two letters in the pair will be the same, such as the "i" in wikiHow, or every letter in a palindrome (see Tips). This usually makes the ambigram easier to construct.
3. Work with one pair of letters at a time.
* Write the first letter in the pair. In some cases, it will be easier to work with the lower case version and in other cases, it'll be easier using upper case.
* Rotate the letter 180 degrees. If you wrote the letter on paper, you can just turn the paper so that the letter is upside-down. If you're on a computer, there may be an option to rotate 180 degrees clockwise, or you can flip horizontally and then flip vertically.
*
Make the rotated letter look like its partner. For example, to make a rotated "i" look like an "o" you can turn the line into an elongated circle. Leave the dot because when you rotate the letter again, that dot will make it recognizable as an "i".
*
Rotate it around to make sure it still resembles the original letter. What you should be left with is an image that looks like one letter in the pair, but when you rotate it 180 degrees, it looks like the other letter in the pair.
4. Put the new letters together to form the ambigram. Some examples:

[edit] Tips
* Look at examples of how certain pairs of letters are "meshed" for inspiration in dealing with your own ambigram.

* Don't focus too much on the obvious letter pairs. Focus on the shapes of all the letters instead. It is often possible to create a letter form that looks like two or more letters when rotated. Wide letters like W and M are especially good for this.
* Another trick is to shift the letter pairings one space to the left or to the right. The last letter can rotate to become an artistic flourish at the beginning of the word, or the first letter can rotate to become an artistic flourish at the end of the word. The payoff is that you may be able to avoid awkward letter pairs (for example, I and W) in the middle of the word.
* Pencil is best because you have the most control and you can easily erase for finer detail.
* Try using a computer program, such as "Paint," as it can rotate the letters for you.
* This is not to be confused with a palindrome, a word that can be read forward and backward. For example, "level" is a palindrome because when read backwards, it still spells "level". But, if you rotate the word 180 degrees, it won't look like itself anymore. When converting palindromes to ambigrams, every letter in the word will have itself as a partner.
* Try using different font styles (e.g. serif vs. sans serif, gothic lettering, etc.) if you become stuck.
* Sometimes you may be able to combine two letters to form a single letter when flipped.
* There are other types of ambigrams. Refer to John Langdon's work for inspiration.
