Barcode Project

Everything started with… what a wonder… an idea! After living in my new apartment for more then half a year i finally got an idea on how to design a part of the wallpaper in the stairway. I will paint barcodes over the doors to the diffrent rooms. First one: living room.

6 phases are neccessary:

  1. tape the area
  2. tape a set of stripes
  3. paint stripes white to fill gaps between tape and wall
  4. paint stripes black (twice)
  5. take tape for the stripes from the wall, go to phase 2 as long as not all are painted black (Todo: Add a funny joke about “paint it black” from the Rolling Stones)
  6. look at what you’ve done, man!

Ok, seems fairly easy but having done the first loop i can say: Its an aweful lot of work. The result so far looks pretty promising though.

Some illustrating pictures? Of course! See:

a status update:

Stage05_02

Current state: Im not quite done yet. I need to buy a kickass dark red for the last stripe and have to paint a little white and black on spots where the stripe isn’t square enough ;)
