Aestheticodes Success!

After a lot of hard work from the Aestheticodes team, their stall at the London Design Festival over the last four days seemed to be quite popular. Loads of people had a go at drawing their own codes and we covered the walls behind us in aestheticodes with ease!

I have spent the last two days at the stall drawing and explaining the encoding process. I got to meet some really lovely people in between figuring out some of my own encoded illustrations.

People have generally been really interested in the concept of being able to use an illustration as a replacement for a QR code, everyone agreeing that QR codes are ugly and spoil the design of a page. I'm hopeful for the team that it will take off, why would anyone choose a QR code when they can have an aestheticode?!

These are the drawings I worked on over the weekend (minus one that I forgot to photograph!).

And there's Emily teaching people how to encode their drawings while I'm busy illustrating my own. Plus there's the stall filled with aestheticodes at the end of the weekend.
