LA Magazine Magazine Client: Ryan Mansfield Design: Nate Wilde LA Magazine is a redesign of the exisiting Los Angeles Magazine. The goal was to appeal to younger readers and tourists, rather than only locals and middle aged adults. The L and the A of the masthead come together, representing the different historical cultures that blend together. The magazine incorporates brighter imagery and bolder type, while remaining open and clean.
Everything for $ale Branding / Packaging Client: Katherine Willson Design: Nate Wilde “Everything for $ale” explores the commodification of everything through the lens of luxury branding. The project reimagines six basic natural resources — air, water, soil, stone, leaf, and stick — as high-end products, presented through packaging and identity that reflects exclusivity and desire. By aestheticizing the ordinary, the work questions how design manipulates perception and value. When beauty, scarcity, and branding intertwine, even the most essential elements of life become items for consumption. “Everything for $ale” asks where we draw the line between appreciation and exploitation, and whether that line has already disappeared.
Welcome to Suburbia, USA Zine Client: Ryan Mansfield Design: Nate Wilde Welcome to Suburbia represents a typical experience someone may experience when they don’t fit into the Suburban mold. The zine goes through the dream of moving to the suburbs, the issues that arise while living there, and escaping to the city. The shape is a square, showing the boxed-in or trapped life and the covers are cut into the shape of a house as if when opening the zine, you are entering into the suburbs and exiting as you turn the last page.

Duracell Branding / Packaging Client: Jon Bybee Design: Nate Wilde Duracell batteries are known for being durable and reliable. I incorporated these characteristics through the rebrand. Emphasis is placed on “DURA” in the logo as well as other bold and stong feeling typography. The color scheme remains similar to the old branding due to the history of the coppertop battery, but with a change to a more orange primary. The project also included creating brand guidelines and packaging. The packaging is a round paper tube that mirros the cylinder shape of the battery itself. Inside, the tube offers a new design of perforated plastic that rolls up, where each battery will sit, keeping them sealed until use.
