How to create an Artistic QR code with QR Artist

Hello Everyone! Today we have prepared a tutorial to create an artistic QR code using QR Artist to help you get over your Monday morning blues. This particular QR code looks like it would be complicated to create but can really be made in just a few easy steps. Here’s how:

1). Go to www.qrartist.net and register/log in to an account

2). Click on the tab ‘My QRs’ and then select the green icon on the left hand side ‘create new QR’ 

3). Enter the content for where the QR code will send the user. http://qrartist.net was used in the example above therefore once the QR code is scanned you will be redirected to qrartist.net.

4). Click the green generate button on the top right

  

You should now have a regular black and white QR code that is scannable

5). Now to add more effects to the QR code. Go to ‘add effects from the effect library’ bar on the right side of the page. Now click on ‘color effects’ that should bring up a page with three possible options (Plain colour, multiple random colour, and linear gradient). For this QR code select Linear Gradient

6). Now select the colors that you want for your QR code. The colours in the example are: Red Color 1: #F70303 Blue Color 2: #0351FA. The Linear gradient effect will blend the two colours together

7). Now add the break blog effect. Do this by going to ‘add effects from effect library’ and selecting shape effects. Then select break blog.

8). Now make the break blog targets only the individual blocks by changing the selection bar from ‘foreground’ to ‘individual blocks’ followed by pressing the green generate bar

9). Now go to ‘image effects’ and select the finder substitution effect. Use the finders that are available under the ‘image library tab’ 

10). Now to finish off the QR code, add the effects ‘Round Corner’ which can be found under shape effects and then go to ‘Shadow Effects’ and use both the ‘Inner Shadow’ and ‘Drop Shadow’ effects.
