Hey everyone! The first thing I imagine many of you are thinking after the reading the title of this post is ‘what is a QR Code?’
Well, a QR Code is basically a bar code, except made of squares instead of lines, which can be scanned by a smart phone. After it has been scanned it can perform a variety of tasks depending on the information which it has programmed into it. For example, it might create a contact on the user’s phone complete with a name, phone number and e-mail address; it might play a music video or film trailer; or, in the case of the code you can see below, it will take the user to a web address.
My code has been designed to take users to my Netcars blog and was designed by illustrator and animator Tom Rides. This post is essentially a shout out to him and his awesome work, which you can find examples of on the following sites:
Be sure to check out his work and contact him if you’d like a QR Code for your own site!
