About Me

My photo
Welcome to 22 Revisions - a blog documenting what I do at work and in life... I’m Sacha and I’ve been in the advertising business for 22 years. In the summer of 2008, I moved my family from Cambridge to a little city north of Toronto called Peterborough to work at an advertising agency called BrandHealth. It has been challenging and unpredictable but the most important revision I have ever made. I am definitely not the most dedicated blogger, nor the most interesting person that has blogged but I hope my sporadic blogs provide some insights into this amazing city, company, industry and people I work with...

A week of typography



This week of blogging is going to be about Typography. I’ll be honest, if you are a non-designer this won’t mean much to you. If you are a designer and love typography as much as I do... Then, this week will be typornographic.

Today I found this fun iPhone app called The Font Game. This game will test your ability to name typefaces. Think you know your Helvetica from your Arial? Then give this app a go!




When I went to OCA, we use to spend hours flipping through books naming fonts. We took so much pride in spotting the subtle differences and then arguing over who was right... If we only had this app!! For the font novice in you, this a great way to learn your typefaces. For the seasoned font-spotter this game will challenge and expose you to a wide variety of typeface. To add to the excitement you are racing against the clock. How much fun is that?? It’s $1.99 but worth the download.
