We had the distinct pleasure to interview award winning designer Ginger Kong about their original and creative Flyer design work. Ginger Kong is an award-winning communication designer, that makes our world a better place with their original flyer works.
Ginger Kong ("GK") answered Design Interview ("DI") questions about their award-winning work Angry Mailer Flyer. Interview questions prepared by Frank Scott.
GK : I was going back into a minimalist approach and thinking, "What can we do with an ordinary 8.5x11 flyer?" Like many, I get stacks of flyers in mail that end up in the trash. It's a waste. I decided to turn an ordinary flyer into an interactive virtual reality viewer. 2D meet 3D.
GK : This is a wonderful accolade to be among great designers from all around the world. This certainly is an encouragement to continue bringing forth new products and hopefully inspire more woman-owned studios in this field.
GK : I saw a need. I took something simple flyer that we take for granted everyday and dispose haphazardly. I began to think how we can repurpose the flyer into something else that was useful, sustainable, and fit within the context for advertisement.... a virtual reality viewer.
GK : The Angry Mailer flyer is adaptable and can be used to advertise any occasion.
GK : The name, Angry Mailer, is a little quirky and gave the flyer its character. Anyone would be angry to see tons of paper end up in trash. The name stuck with the purpose of the design... not to waste paper or the flyer will get angry.
GK : Paper, scissors, and a little creativeness goes a long way.
GK : It's a flyer that turns into a virtual reality viewer. One can explore the world from their couch.
GK : User needs to attach phone to the vr viewer for the interactive 360 experiences.
