The book of stills that I will create will have a QR code on each chapter. Scanning this code with a smart phone will take the user to the video of the corresponding video. I think this will be a really nice way to link everything together and ensure the book and videos are connected. It will also give me another platform to celebrate skin on, creating a wider audience.
Seeing as I am in no way an expert in technology like this I had to do a little research to see A) how I
would go about getting these QR codes and B) to see how feasible it was and if it would be possible to include in the project.
I discovered that websites like QRStuff.com will create QR codes free and ready to download, simply by putting in the URL of the desired location you wish to link to code to. You can then scan it using an app like RedLaser and it will take you directly to that link. This is a really prominent method of promotion through all aspects of the fashion and beauty industry and so it will ensure that my project is relevant and keeps up with modern processes.
TESTING
I tested this out using the URL from my blog to see if it worked both digitally and in print. And it worked! (see below) the only thing I think that I will have to be careful with is to make sure the links are all printed correctly when the book goes to the printers.
This is also really convienient for my costing because its absolutly free. Some other sites require payment for codes and barcodes so it was smart and cost efficient to look around.
