It's 10.30am and I'm jumping around like a little giddy school girl. Why? Well it all comes down to QR Codes. QR Codes are a kind of barcode destined to one day phase out barcodes or maybe work alongside them, who knows. They're currently used in Japan and when you get a QR scanner you can read the codes that point you to websites and other sorts of information. But I can hear you say but i need to carry another device around how lame whats the point!? Well you don't! You can use your current phone and camera to read the codes and then redirect you to whatever the info is. The applications for this stuff seems endless! Can you imagine unfortunately being in hospital and then having your details placed in a QR code and emailing that code to the doctor he scans it and maybe all of you medical info comes up onscreen, obviously for that scenario some sort of security will be needed, but could even be used for test results and all sorts it's just insanely excitably excit ing! If you have an iPhone I recommend the QR app its ace, and for you to test it all heres the image I made!

This week we'd like to introduce you to Tom. He's a recent graduate from Nottingham Trent University (Where our James went). So far he's worked out great, being a good laugh and doing some cracking work with Matt and Rick. You can view some of his mad cat skills here.

When the time comes we'll show what the 3 of them have been working on, we think it looks ace.

Our D&AD Award Winning Director Matt Dent (what a mouthful) is this months guest writer on the 2nd best design blog on the web Noisy Decent Graphics. He's already written a few articles and a little bird tells me the next article is going to be based on patterns - released this Saturday. Jump over and have a look there's some great stuff up.
