original barcode generators, but were censored
These were the orginal barcode generating phrases I was going to use for this project I used economic theory phrases, ideas, from various sources, but even though the words/phrases would not have been visible, only the barcodes, but I was required to create new phrases like: 'bluegrass (poa pratensis)' which is not a native species to Kentucky and other phrases relating to Kentucky like: 'a heaven of a place', 'La Troienne (equus)', 'University of Kentucky' and 'Kentucky'. They had the graphic designer at the print shop generate the actual barcodes for my flags instead of using my digital files.
