Amazingly Creative Japanese Barcodes What's in a barcode? More than you might imagine, when idealized through the eyes of some very creative Japanese artists. You will be amazed at what can be done with a few straight lines and a push to think outside of a very ordinary box. UPC symbols are ubiquitous and constant reminders that we are a civilization of consumers. Up until now, there was no distinguishing one from the other. That's all changed since a Japanese company named D-Barcode came up with some very creative and innovative ideas on how to make these uninteresting lines actually enjoyable to look upon. It is said that barcodes are the bane of the modern graphic designer. Many distribution people compound the headache by insisting on conspicuous white rectangles, which may or may not fit the context involved. The changes are little and subtle, and yet at the same time, enormous. Now picking up a bottle or box at the supermarket may bring a smile to your face, not because of a price reduction but rather form a funny unexpected face or form smiling back at you from the label on the back of the package. This enhancement of the consumer experience is brilliant on many levels. But why keep talking? Check out these cool barcodes below and judge for yourself!
the bar codes would work as long as it fulfills the general standard encoding... for one of my classes we had to decipher a bar code.... meaning we were giving the bars and we had to decode the corresponding number.... yeah those numbers at the bottom.... or right of the barcode
lol...it looks nice...but yea... a bit useless no? it would probably nice for kids toys... honestly i never pay attention to barcodes anyway
they've also got the so called QR-code... i've got a barcode reader on my phone (Nokia N82) for it... Those are quite nice either
Barcodes only need a line the height of the laser of unobstructed code to work. So in all of the case of these barcodes, they do work.
