Introduction: Scanning Should Never Mean Exposure

The Art of the Scannable Interface

Published: Jan 05, 2026

Introduction: Design Is the Difference Between Scan & Fail

In scanning technology, design isn’t decoration—it’s functionality. A scanner doesn’t care about beauty; it cares about clarity, contrast, and whitespace.
