Fix: Use short, final URLs before generating codes.
Why it happens: Low-contrast color choices reduce scan reliability.
Fix: Test scans on multiple phone cameras.
Theory: Shorter payloads generate cleaner, easier-to-scan patterns.
When to use: Use concise URLs/text and avoid unnecessary parameters.
Common mistake: Encoding very long strings that reduce scan tolerance.
Theory: Visual branding must not compromise foreground/background contrast.

Common mistake: Low-contrast branding styles that fail in dim lighting.
Theory: Output resolution requirements differ by medium and distance.
When to use: Use high-resolution exports for print signage and packaging.
