ARTWORK GENERATED TO CONVEY DIGITAL MESSAGES, AND METHODS/APPARATUSES FOR GENERATING SUCH ARTWORK

摘要

2D machine readable symbologies are stylized and made aesthetically-appealing, facilitating their use to convey plural-symbol data on product packaging and other articles. In some arrangements, symbologies are stylized by geometric transformations (e.g., by multiple rotation and/or mirroring operations) to develop tiles having organized geometric structures. Such stylized symbologies can be decoded by existing code readers. A great variety of other features and arrangements are also detailed.
