AI made your event poster. Does the QR code work on paper?
A beautiful fundraiser poster can still leave someone pointing their phone at it and giving up. I'd keep the QR code out of the decorative part of an AI design brief. DENSO WAVE's existing QR guidance calls for a clear margin four modules wide on every side—a module is one little square in the code. Its sizing guide also says larger modules are easier to read, and that the scanner's limits matter. A border that looks like wasted space in a layout has a job. For an AI-assisted poster, I'd insert a QR code made from the actual booking URL, keep its clear margin, then print one copy at the intended size. Scan that paper with a phone from where a visitor would reasonably stand. Open the destination too: reaching last year's booking page isn't a successful check. These are checks I'd suggest, not a test I've run on an AI design tool. I'd also print a short, readable web address beside it. Someone shouldn't need a working camera to find out how to come to your event.

Check whether the code needs a subscription to keep working, too. Scanova's existing help page says its dynamic QR codes stop redirecting when the trial or paid subscription ends; its static codes remain functional without a subscription. A successful scan today won't catch a trial that expires before the fundraiser. For a fixed booking link, I'd use a static code containing that URL directly and check the booking page will stay available through the event. If you need to change the destination after printing, agree who keeps the redirect service paid up. The poster should not acquire a monthly bill by accident.
I'd check the version shared in a neighbourhood chat, too. Someone reading the poster on their phone can't point that phone's camera at it. Put a tappable booking link in the message beside the image, rather than leave them to work out screenshot scanning. I'd open the shared message on a phone and try to reach the booking page without saving the picture. That's a check I'd add for the digital version, not a claim about a design tool I've tested. The printed poster and the chat message can use the same artwork without making people take the same route to a ticket.
