From the cutting room floor: N*E*R*D cartridges

July 14, 2011 By steve flashback One Comment

Fans of the 2009 N*E*R*D site should recall the large cartridge that the crowd held up on the intro page. Well, that was actually just one of many different fake cartridges that I created. Here’s the story of a concept that didn’t quite fit in with the rest of the site so it wasn’t used.

Back in December 2008, I was brought onboard to redo the official site for N*E*R*D. Another company had been working on it, but the band wasn’t happy with the direction they were going in. I was soon on a call with Pharrell, who was detailing his concepts for the new site: an old-school Atari theme.

This got some wheels churning. As luck would have it, a friend I’ve known since 3rd grade is a big Atari fan and has a pretty large collection. We arranged for him to send me a package of games, controllers and a system. I wasn’t exactly sure what I’d do with them, but hoped that the gear would spark some ideas.

And they did! I love those old, classic cartridges. The labels, the graphics, the way they were all worn down from years of use and abuse. I didn’t have an Atari growing up, (we were a Commodore family,) but it took me back.

N*E*R*D

June 18, 2009 By steve announcements 3 Comments

I’ve had to keep quiet about this one for a while, but I’m proud to announce that the new site for N*E*R*D is now live!

This was a lot of fun. The style was inspired by oldschool Atari games, and the site even includes a game. You play as Pharrell, Chad or Shae and search a space station for Brain Power, so you can defeat the evil space gorilla. (obviously!)
