With the designs of real, retro computer icons, interfaces and webpages as inspiration, I created this using Canva and Procreate. I believe the only graphics I didn’t make myself are the grid in the background and the hand and arrow cursors (that little loading circle is all me!). Additionally, the typing, clicking and ambient air were recorded on my iPhone.
This was a fun project! It took a while, as I was working on it, sporadically, over the span of a few weeks. I would have loved it to be an online hit, but alas…
It’s very obvious that I took inspiration from Little Shop of Horrors (I have yet to see this flick all the way through) and Chia Pets! I created the art work using some fonts I messed around with in addition to drawing the blood. The VHS effect came from a pack I bought from Video Milkshake. The glowing liquid on the plants is real liquid from glosticks, so don’t try this at home!
I created a production bump for DOORANGEPEEL that I didn’t like, but I posted it with the intention to remake it at a later date. However, after using SPECTRE as a fictitious company behind some of my other “products,” I thought it would be cooler to make SPECTRE VIDEO its own production bump.
