Nikita Prokhorov was attending this year’s HOW Design Live Conference, and I knew immediately that I wanted to have him on the show. His ambigram work, as well as his book, Ambigrams Revealed: A Graphic Designer’s Guide To Creating Typographic Art Using Optical Illusions, Symmetry, and Visual Perception, were the main topics.
We also talk about his first years in Russia and how that has influenced his work.
It’s weird, I’ve known Nikita online for a long-time, but I don’t think we’d ever had the chance to meet in-person. I guess it’s things like this that make HOW one of my favorite weeks of the year. Enjoy.
