Ok, I like technology, could even be said that I love technology. Ive been using macs for design work since 1988 when we had a MAC II and an SE. We had what I seem to remember what was a beta copy of illustrator 88, direct from the new Adobe European office in Holland, and we were working with a very very early cut of Adobe PageMaker, soon the be usurped by Quark Express, then subsequently beaten into second place by our dear friend InDesign. Hey we even had the predecessor to Photoshop, the name of which I cant remember, although I do remember that it was black and white – not even greyscale. Wow when Photoshop 1 was released were we happy…
Anyway, I caught this image the other day when I was changing trains at Cardiff Central and I seriously did a double take. Now, I actually quite like the idea of QR codes, ive even snapped a couple with my phone to link to the websites that they point at, but seriously guys, this is insane! I cant believe that someone actually proposed this, and I cant believe that someone green-lighted it and authorised the spending of hard earned on it. Unbelievable. Well I think so anyway, you make your own mind up…
If you are thinking about doing this… in a word… DONT!
