QR codes


QR codes are a marketing tool used by companies all over the world and are a fun way of making you visit their web site and also a way of sub -consciously making you read around their own specific product or service. To make the QR codes work all that is needed is a smart phone or tablet  with a QR code reader app. These work by reading the pattern of the black squares on the white background, and then convert them into a URL address or a piece of text which the owner has written. You are able to find QR codes anywhere and are used on places like billboards, bus stops, web sites, TV ads, sides of buildings and anywhere also you can think of which a large black and white image can be displayed. If you have you own smart phone with a QR code reader or you have to borrow someone else’s.  The QR code featured is one which we created to be entered into a smart phone device and if entered will display more information about QR codes.
