Barcode Art: Could We Be Seeing More Of This On Product Labels?

Did you say Barcode Art?

Everyone knows what barcodes are. They're on nearly every product we purchase, from bread, to antifreeze and even nappies. Many of us don’t even pay attention to them (until we get to the self-scan tills and can’t find them anywhere on the item being purchased). They pretty much look the same… right?

That is, until you see this. Yes. Barcode art. A transformative way to turn these useful series of lines into beautiful expressions of art. And what a way to create a talking point on nearly every single product sold.

Fresh Paint

I decided to look around the Microsoft app store to see if I could find something useful to try. I was feeling like I wanted to draw, so I decided to look for something in the art department of applications. Then I found an application that caught my eye called Fresh Paint. So what is Fresh Paint? Fresh Paint (and I know I am saying that a lot) is a Windows 8 based application that allows people to use their computer as a canvas board. So in other words, you can use your computer to draw, paint, or even just come up with new ideas that you want to put down on paper. So let’s dive right into this artistic application and see what it has to offer.

Chrome Apps Episode 7: Planner 5D

Today we are going to be looking at an application called “Planner 5D”. This application is a home designing tool that allows you to create your dream house with all of the tools it provides. The application caught my eye one day while browsing the Chrome App store and I was feeling a bit on the creative side. So I decided to give it a shot and download it. After taking about twenty minutes of using the app and getting used to the interface I soon found myself making my own little office with no problems what so ever. I should mention that getting used to this application isn’t quite as easy as it seems, but it doesn’t take long after the understanding of the interface. With that said, let’s see if this application is for you.

Review: "The Art of Getting By"

I've definitely been more into movies now, and I've really been getting a larger collection of DVDs. This particular movie I happened to just finish about a half hour ago. My first statement, I loved it! It is definitely going up there with some of my top favorites. I love Emma Roberts and she did a fantastic job in this movie. I don't remember seeing any movies with Freddie Highmore so this was by far a good first impression for me. He did an excellent job with his character, I'd like to see more of his work. I liked the whole setting of the story, how it's located in the city and also how the main characters are 18. (Easy to relate to since I am also 18) I love a good love story and I have to say that this was very cute. Also I like how art was intergrated into the movie but very suddle. Overall I think that it is a great movie to sit down and watch and I am very satisfied with my purchase.
