What do you think of QR Codes on a photographers business card? Does it take up too much space and become too much of a distraction away from the photographer? What I mean is does it become more about using a new QR code instead of being about the photographer? Photography business cards should be consistent with the branding of the photographer – I’m all for it if the photographer is also integrating other elements that make sense.  Normally, I’ve seen it as a total different look, feel, and purpose to that of the other design elements.

When I see this thing, I am first concerned with people asking about what the thing is.  The conversation shouldn’t become about how to use this new thing or what it is about.  I see the conversation as about the photographer or back to the person you’re giving the card too.  It becomes about something else completely.

I understand the value of a QR Code, but on a business card? What do you think?  Feel free to change my mind!
