That’s the idea, yes

The cover image seemed to work for me but then the next one didn’t. I’m guessing this type of style makes it more difficult for qr to scan but as long as the contrast is sufficient, it should be able to do it. In the end, it sacrifices functionality for “coolness”. It’s sort of like those websites with a 3d menu. Doesn’t help me navigate the website at all but makes you go, “huh, neat”.
