HBO Promotes True Blood with QR Codes

Submitted by on 05/22/2010 – 6:34 AMOne Comment | 1,250 views

It’s exciting to see the work of Fashion Camp participants come to life. Warbasse Design is pushing the boundaries with the first designer code in a TV ad. They were selected by HBO to design the QR Code which will run in a TV ad promoting season three of True Blood.

The ad is a 30 second spot which airs on Sunday May 23rd during ABC’s last episode of LOST. Warbasse Design’s partner SET Japan acted as consultants throughout the design process.  When scanned, the QR Code resolves to a video clip for fans of the series. Interestingly, the QR Code appears for only a few seconds and is intended to make use of DVR devices like TIVO which will allow the commercial to be frozen in order to scan the code.

Philip Warbasse will be speaking at Fashion Camp on June 13, 2010. Come meet the man behind the West Coast’s QR brilliance.
