Interesting find in the May issue of Monocle, a magazine on global affairs, business, culture and design: In the back part of the magazine there is a manga cartoon (with a nice introduction ‘how’ to read such a cartoon) and embedded in the story you can find a working QR code that reveals important information to the hero of the story. While we won’t tell you where the Code actually links (find it out yourself with the photo from Flickr) to a page on the internet, which is of course absolutely cool, it could have been used in more creative ways in our opinion. Not *necessarily* linking to Wikipedia (hehe) but for example an online version of the cartoon, a different route of the story or a voting poll on how the story should unfold in future releases. Obviously this would put a lot of work onto the planning and design of such a story, but hey, if we don’t do it, who else?
