We are excited to announce QR Code Integration for all ArtWanted.com members!
What is a QR Code? "QR" stands for "Quick Response". A QR Code is a square black and white image with a specific pattern, like a bar code. When someone "scans" the QR Code using a QR Code reader app on their mobile device, then they are taken to the web URL programmed into the QR Code without having to type anything. QR Codes are getting more and more popular as a way to bring new visitors to a specific website.
New QR Codes for Your Portfolio & Your Images We now provide you with a quick way to download QR Codes for your marketing materials that will link directly to your main portfolio page or to a specific image in your portfolio. If the user is on a mobile device when they scan the code, then they will be taken to the mobile version of our site, so the artwork is formatted to their mobile screen size. To download the QR Code for your Main Portfolio, simply look at the bottom of the Main Members Area page in the "Marketing Your Portfolio" section. To download the QR Code for a specific image, visit the "Edit Image" page from your "Manage Portfolio" section. On the bottom-left of the page, you will see the QR Code for the image you are editing.
A QR Code is typically designed to take a user from a printed marketing piece to the web without the user having to type anything. With this in mind, you should have a QR Code on any marketing piece you create about yourself. This should be found on your business cards, postcards, flyers, brochures, magazine ads and any other printed marketing materials you create or advertise yourself in. Using QR Codes in your marketing efforts will bring you additional portfolio traffic and provide a fast way for users to view your entire portfolio. Getting Started With QR Codes The first step is to download a QR Code Scanner App for your smart phone. You can download a basic QR Code reader app for free, or pay for one with additional features. Here is a list of popular QR Code Reader Apps for popular mobile phones. Once you have a QR Code reader installed on your mobile phone, simply scan any QR Code found in your ArtWanted.com members area. You can do this by launching the scanner app, then pointing your phone camera to the black & white QR Code image inside your members area. The final step is to download the QR Code images from our website and add them to your printed marketing materials. Simply "right-click" on the QR Code image and save it to your computer. Enjoy!

Craig - Normally our staff prefers to talk via e-mails and support tickets, but if you require a phone call, we can have someone call you. As for your question you posted, we assume you are referring to the new web app, correct? The new web app is specifically designed for mobile smart phones. The format of the page, the layout, the size of the images, the optimized downloads are all designed for mobile devices for a much better user experience.

Hope it works for you, craig. This is a cool site, but (as in the old days) our cell phone ONLY makes & receives calls. Sounds like a great idea for those folks (the younger generation, so to speak) who can afford the luxury of such devices. Go for it!

QR code (abbreviated from Quick Response Code) is the trademark for a type of matrix barcode (or two-dimensional barcode) first designed for the automotive industry in Japan; a barcode is an optically machine-readable label that is attached to an item and that records information related to that item: The information encoded by a QR code may be made up of four standardized types ("modes") of data (numeric, alphanumeric, byte / binary, Kanji) or, through supported extensions, virtually any type of data. Recently, the QR Code system has become popular outside the automotive industry due to its fast readability and greater storage capacity compared to standard UPC barcodes; applications include product tracking, item identification, time tracking, document management, general marketing, and much more. A QR code consists of black modules (square dots) arranged in a square grid on a white background, which can be read by an imaging device (such as a camera) and processed using Reed-Solomon error correction until the image can be appropriately interpreted; data is then extracted from patterns present in both horizontal and vertical components of the image. Originally designed for industrial uses, QR codes have become common in consumer advertising. Typically, a smartphone is used as a QR-code scanner, displaying the code and converting it to some useful form (such as a standard URL for a website, thereby obviating the need for a user to type it manually into a web browser). We can generate and read different kinds of barcode with the help of many professional SDKs. I'm studying about this recently. I hope we can have some communication later. Best regards, Arron
