NAC September 2007: Hybridity

Salam!
.

After a long wait, we have finally compiled the September edition for NAC (nagfa's ambigram challenge). Again, we've seen new participants (a warm welcome from all of us at the NAC family!). The given challenge was the word - 'hybridity' - and through the entries, we've seen various interpretations, most participants went for the straightforward with emphasis on exuding individual styles; some went for brave, and surprisingly successful solutions; there were experiments with fonts and depictions of hybridity.

.

All in all, this NAC is in itself a 'hybrid'; proof that different artists with different styles from different cultures and socio-economic backgrounds, have made it a considerable success. Applause to all! Respect and salute, and a handshake to all..

.
humbly,

nagfa,

nagfa's Ambigram Challenge April 2007

After the most successful outing for NAC yet - the John-Langdon inspired February '07 NAC - we settle back to the status quo with a twist: April '07 NAC will be given a slight twist. The ambigrammist with the best design (judged by nagfa) will be invited as the guest challenger for June' 07 NAC!

To all ambigram artists: nagfa thank you!
