Also, my group and I together created the project proposal document and it has been uploaded.

Qr codes what is the size?

To effectively scan the QR code it should appear to be at least 1cm (0.4 inches) across in the viewport of the scanning device, and as the distance between the camera and the QR code increases, the size of the QR code will need to increase to compensate. For most smartphones the relationship between scan distance and minimum QR code size is approximately 10:1 so a 2.5cm (1 inch) QR code printed in a magazine will have a nominal effective scan distance of about 250mm (10 inches), and a QR code on a billboard 20 metres (65 feet) from the where a passer-by would be scanning it would probably need to be about 2 metres (6.5 feet) across.


SOLUTION:

On the Microsoft office picture manager we have resized one QR code from 100% to 75% to 50% but this is too small therefore we tried 60% and it was a decent size. 
55% is the standard size.

Real World Project Post 2

A problem that I encountered when I had to put all the QR codes together was that I only had access to a PDF version of the whole school events sheet. Due to that I was unable to insert the QR codes on the PDF file. What I did to overcome this was that I created a new word document and re-created the same layout of the school event sheet on word. Therefore, this allowed me to insert the QR code with ease and the problem was solved.
