how to do anagrams

If we talk about design, we also talk about ordering words and concepts. Concepts that can be derived from a series of steps for their correct creation. In graphic design, we also have what we know as anagrams, and it is for this reason that, in this post, we have come to talk to you about this way of creating new concepts, relating them, and developing them.

Anagrams, as we can see, have not only helped us to identify a series of patterns, but rather, they have also helped us to know how to act against a series of concepts that have remained to be defined, in the most logical way, and simple as possible.

Next, we will explain what anagrams are, and why they have become so fashionable in graphic design. Also, We will also offer you a series of tips so that you can design your own, quickly and easily.

Anagrams: what are they?

Anagrams are defined as a series of games that fulfill the main objective of ordering words or concepts. Let's say it is a good form of entertainment and interactivity with our mind, since we must be able to rearrange all the letters that make up a specific word, logo or concept.

There are other methods, as is the case in the literature, where anagrams are used to find endless meanings in the same term, which we can say as a whole new discovery of definitions.

Anagrams are already part of one of the basic activities in many psychology and learning exercises. For example, in design, we can opt for the concepts ordinance to create a naming or a brand name. We can reconstruct the name of a brand, through new concepts that remain to be defined.

types of anagrams

• Ambigram: Ambigrams are words that can be read both ways, for example, thanks to their graphic expression, we can define them in different possible ways. It is a type of anagram that involves magic and power when making new concepts and creating others that derive from them.
• Antigram: These are words that are usually formed with the antonym of both concepts. It is one of the anagrams where we can create the most explosion of concepts. In short, another new way of creating concepts, starting from new ones and totally opposed to each other.
• Paragram: Are those words that, soundly, they can sound the same as the rest, but yes, they fulfill a functionAnd they all have different meanings.
• Palindrome: They are words that are allowed to be read from one sense or another. Also known as capicúa, have the amazing power of having different ways of reading, depending on where you start reading them, a wonder it is possible to do it thanks to the numerous amount of anagrams that exist, and that we have access to.
• Synanagram: They are anagrams where the words are synonyms of the original word, another way to create synonyms from new words or concepts.

Tips for designing anagrams

documentation phase

Before starting to design anagrams, it is important that you take into account your own documentation phase, that is, it is important that you take into account what terms you are going to start dealing with and what sense you are going to want to guide them towards.

We must think that an anagram not only consists of simple concepts that are linked or united to form one or more meanings, but that meaning can be the whole of what you are going to design. Thus, carry out a documentation phase on the topic you are going to deal with and above all, take into account each one of the details during the investigation and documentation phase.

brainstorming

Brainstorming is very important at the exact moment of creating anagrams. They not only serve to be able to create more and more concepts and in this way obtain more namings that can accompany our brand, or specific campaign, but rather, they are part of a process where more detailed and processed information has been collected for possible subsequent ideation.

It is one of the phases that must also be taken into account, since it is as important or even more so than the first.

dare yourself

If we talk about unifying concepts, We also talk about daring during the process, and not being afraid to create for the sake of creating. There are brands that have a very abstract name, and that have been created from a series of concepts that, among them, did not exist a relationship as such.

It is for this reason that daring is a good attitude to start designing anagrams. Since it is an exercise of the mind that can dislodge us and be able to get high at the same time, in just seconds.
