The Ella Magazine cover concept was created as a personalized editorial-style design as a birthday surprise. The objective was to craft a publication-quality cover that reflected the visual structure, typography, and hierarchy of a contemporary magazine while capturing Helena’s personality and interests.

Our role included concept development, editorial-style headline writing, layout composition, and full cover design execution. We developed the masthead, cover lines, and visual hierarchy to mirror the credibility and polish of a real magazine, balancing playful personalization with professional design standards.

The result was a print-ready, publication-quality cover concept that felt authentic and celebratory—demonstrating editorial layout expertise applied to a meaningful personal project.
