Studio Brief 4: QR Code Magazine Ad

Considering many ways in which paper design can be augmented assisted digitally, I settled on using a QR code which would link the audience to a video which fits as part of an image on the advert. This creates a link between digital and paper based design and allows the design to give more information to the audience in a way that is more engaging. 
QR codes were hugely popular, but quickly became gimicky as they were used in ways that were not engaging or apropriate. I believe that QR codes can still reinforce a design if used creatively and if QR code readers become more widley owned. 
This advertising campaign could be expanded with more videos of the other cocktails listed on the advert being prepared.
The video below shows the magazine ad in use and the video that links to.
