Purpose

While designing my personal business cards I decided I wanted to have a QR Code on it leading to this website. I had issues in the past with other QR code generators setting time limits on their functionality and they also pose a security risk, so I decided to make my own. I followed several tutorials using the qrcode and PIL libraries.

I styled each QR code differently to ensure I could tell them apart, and used Landsat Imagery as the background images.

Results

Website QR Code

Blue QR code leading to the current website

Contacts QR code

Due to security issues, this QR code does not include my actual contact information. Light and dark blue QR code with an example of vCard information
