It’s Magic
Connor is helping Mr. Bonner with his magic show today!
Magic Show
Mr. Bonner is not only an extraordinary martial arts instructor, but he is also a consummate entrepreneur and avid stage magician.
He performs his magic shows in a kid-friendly mode and also his “Dark Side of Magic” mode. It’s going to be a great show. If you’re in the area, stop in and enjoy the performances.
Graphical Magic Tricks
Adding a Logo into a QR Code – Photoshop
I’m not the Robert from this video, I found it on YouTube
If you look at the QR code in the thumbnail above, there are 3 big squares in the upper right, upper left and lower left corners. The inside corners of these boxes is the safe area for embedding a logo into a QR code.
The technical magic is that the patterns you see repeated throughout the QR code is actually the web address that you encoded being repeated over and over and over again. So, in the areas outside of the red box, you’re most likely seeing the web address repeated in its entirety at least once. That’s what the QR reader on your smartphone is picking up.
As such, the middle is more than adequate to embed a logo for your site. You can also color code the QR. As long as there’s a visible contrast between the encoded web address (the black boxes and squiggles) and the background (the blue background), you can have a color scheme that matches your subject or brand colors.
For instance, if you were doing a St. Patrick’s Day promo, you could have a green QR with a white background and a shamrock overlay in the center. The QR reader would still recognize the green squiggles as your web address and jump forward to your site.
Magic of Motivation
It is easy to sit up and take notice, What is difficult is getting up and taking action. ~Honore de Balzac
For the longest time, I couldn’t work up enough givadam to do much of anything. These days, I’ve been really energized and getting stuff done. I just have to be patient and wait for the seeds I’m planting to start sprouting and producing fruit.
That’s a quickie for today. I’ve got to get going to the magic show. Hope to see you there!
