Who says barcodes are boring?
Invented by Woodland and Silver and patented in 1951, the barcode is based on the Morse code, which is extended to thick and thin bars, and is a now widely-adopted method of representing data in a visual and machine-readable format.
Utilised across numerous applications and products, barcodes usually consist of lines of differing thickness which are read and interpreted by barcode readers.
In recent years, barcode creators have become more and more creative in their approach and have transformed the straight lines into breath-taking masterpieces.
