Made myself a simple but sweet little 3x4 QR Code badge to wear at AC so people can snap pictures of my actual FA page link instead of just my art badges, and then end up not finding me later cuz it's such a vague way to look someone up, just a name lol.
The QR code is also functional for those who have the app and wanna watch me on the spot! brings you right to my profile page ^_^
The icon I used was made by
I got my QR code at one of those random free websites out there lol.
If you're not Photoshop handy, I can plug in your info (Kinda like a YCH I guess lol) and send you the file for you to print out! this size should fit into a basic badge holder so no lamination required! Oh, and totes for free too, just cuz I'd love to be able to connect with fursuiters and furs more easily at cons where the only thing I have handy to get info down is my phone xD
If you want a version for your profile, I'm gonna need a hi-res version of your icon image otherwise it's gonna be all pixelly and yucky. at least 600x600!

Yeah, and I'm the only Elbi on here too, but people forget sometimes, and I feel like seeing the QR code and the link and the phrase will make them think 'Hey! I want to watch this person later even after the con is over. Let me take a pic and look them up later!" or if someone asks if you have an FA, instead of just waving one of my badges at them and nodding like a crazy person, trying to get them to realize that hey, your name IS your FA name too, I can just flash this instead and they'll immediately understand xD
I used to think QR codes were a geeky gimmick too, but I can actually see where they come in handy, especially in situations where you might not have time to open up a browser on your phone and type stuff in, then pore through the results for the right one. With the app, literally all a person has to do is steady their cam over my badge, let the page load and click +Watch if they're logged into FA already. That easy. I love it. I already plan on taking pics of as many suiters badges as I can if I'm able to (I've gotten pretty handy with taking pics on my DSLR in my suit!) so I can credit them properly later. I hate having to ask the community at large to identify them, it's like I just took the pic with them and didn't really do much else or even find out their name. So hopefully this idea helps make that a little easier for folks like us who like to keep in touch with new and interesting friends we meet!
