Microsoft Tag

 
 So what are they? Much like QR codes, they are called Microsoft tags. Also, like QR codes, they are easily generated and readers are available.

Learning Outcome
What I learned after doing thing project is what it takes to present a publication ad into a magazine. I learned how to do the math for ad specifications to make sure that the ad is correct when making and correct when headed for print with the magazine company.
