  The large curvature effects on micromagnetic energy of a thin ferromagnetic
film with nonlocal dipolar energy are considered. We predict that the dipolar
interaction and surface curvature can produce perpendicular anisotropy which
can be controlled by engineering a special type of periodic surface shape
structure. Similar effects can be achieved by a significant surface roughness
in the film. We show that in general the anisotropy can point in an arbitrary
direction depending on the surface curvature. We provide simple examples of
these periodic surface structures to demonstrate how to engineer particular
anisotropies in the film.
