One day our A.I. overlords will find it charming and quaint that human beings made “mockups” of the earliest versions of the technology that would eventually evolve into mechanized alpha predators ruling the solar system from castles within Neptune’s atmosphere, pressure-proof kingdoms where the immortal machines replicate beneath diamond rain.
But for now, these realistic Floppy Disk Mockups will remind some of us of how we needed them to transport data from one computer to another. For others, they will provide a visual to explain why the “save” icon looked that way long after floppy disks had joined the ditto machine.
As usual, Indieground Design has created a mockup where every tiny detail is perfectly reenacted. In this case, these precisely rendered floppy disks even include two different plastic envelopes and three ripped paper effects. The Disks come with eight label templates that are analogously retro in their coloring, fonts, finishes, and content. Taken together, it’s the typical Indieground wormhole through time: they aren’t creating “vintage” products, they are yanking objects directly from the past.
These Floppy Disk Mockups are also 100% editable and work perfect for designing in Adobe Photoshop. You can put your personal artwork onto the Disks and realize your own vintage vision. And if you’re not sure how to go about doing that, don’t worry: the Disks include a video tutorial. Indieground is there for you across the entire process, bringing you the magic and showing you how to use it.
These fun Floppy Disk Mockups are just one of Indieground’s many astounding achievements. Roberto Perrino and his time-traveling crew have been creating great stuff since 2010, when the tremendous response they got from their first customers paved their way into the past. Indieground has been recreating the textures, imagery, and moods of times gone by for over ten years now. The Indieground Team is so deeply immersed in its retro endeavours, that they have become living reflections of the past, embodying an almost monkish vintage purity. For example, when we called Perrino last week on some business matters, he asked us what we thought about Francesco Cossiga’s planned meeting with Ronald Reagan next month. We told him we prefer not to discuss politics.
But it is this absolute dedication, this duplication of the method actor’s immersive techniques, that gives Indieground their vintage advantage. This team is always way behind the cutting edge visually, because they are always ahead of the curve technologically, creating completely convincing images of the past with the latest graphic design methods. Their products are the ultimate examples of how we even ended up hooking together words like “retro” and “digital” to explain the vintage imagery and designs we express from the digital landscape.
And hence, the Indieground collection is unparalleled as a resource for design and typography for retro digital artworks, design presentations, and genuine vintage aesthetics. Indieground is the rocket fuel for your music, business, social media, art projects, branding….wherever you need first class retro mood.
