2009 was a year I’ll never forget.
I married, honeymoon’d, moved to the south coast and even bought a Volvo estate. And I already know that 2010 will be another record breaking year for me.

Wishing all my readers a happy and prosperous year ahead. I am looking for bigger and more challenging projects in 2010 and am available now! So if you are (or know of someone) looking for a creative with a decade of experience please do me the favour and pass my details on.

After recently reading this post on CR Blog and coincidently finding a QR reader application on my iPhone it reminded me to explore the wonderful world of QR codes and their possibilities.

QR (Quick response) codes are the modern day version of barcodes but instead of using a traditional reader you’d find at Sainsbury, you use a mobile phone camera which sometimes has software built-in or you download an app to read the codes. The QR codes generally contain a ‘machine’ readable URL that automatically sends the user off to your website. This is especially useful if your domain name and specific page is long and unfriendly for typing out or writing down – one snap on your camera and you’re away.

2dcode.co.uk is a blog that helps you screw up your code as the code itself allows for 30% deterioration while still remaining readable.

Create your own QR code over at Kaywa.

Portraits, a geometric exercise by Icelander Siggi Eggertsson. Love them!

First you add egg, then sugar, flour, marzipan, chocolate and a dollop of illustrator – what you get is a wonderful little bakery with some very tasty looking cakes.
