Design mock-up for the ill-fated SNES CD-ROM addon that never made it to market. Here it's presented as the Nintendo SUPERDISC CD-ROM System. A logo with adorns the top left with "SUPER DISC" in a thick 90s lettering and "CD-ROM SYSTEM" in a thinner font underneath with a rainbow barline inbetween them. Below the logo is a tagline written in yellow, saying "Give your system extra power for the ultimate 16-Bit machine! Below that is a radical 90s graphic advertising a demo disc included inside. To the right of the packaging is a Super Nintendo with facsimile of the SuperDisc system underneath, digitally painted to look like it's attached to the console. The drive is open to show a black CD in the tray. The bottom left has the Nintendo seal of quality and the logos for Sony, Compact Disc and Dolby Surround Sound.
The tag-line "THE VIDEO GAME EXPERIENCE IS NOW POWERED UP!!" is in a thin yellow-orange font. The left of the packaging is black and discusses all the features of the SuperDisc including redbook CD quality audio, enhanced graphics and the SuperFX chip built into the machine and a built in memory storage. The right advertises brand new releases. Super Mario All Stars, StarFox and Secret of Mana are showcased with Super Metroid, Final Fantasy III (VI), Mega Man X, Castlevania Dracula X, Mario Paint Expansion Disc and SimCity 2000 are advertised as coming soon. There's also a coupon for five months of Nintendo Power and a SNES cart for free with proof of purchase.
For my design class in college, we had to make packaging for a product that didn't exist. So I thought, "What if Sony and Nintendo actually made the CD add on for the SNES?"
And then it spiraled out of control.
