01 / CONTEXT

A premium editorial identity, made visible across formats.

ELLE is a global fashion-media brand operating across 80 countries. Its network reports 32 million magazine readers, 100 million monthly unique visitors across 60 digital platforms, and a total global audience of 250 million.

At ELLE India, I worked across the magazine’s fashion, beauty, lifestyle and culture coverage. My role connected editorial layouts, web graphics, social content, event collateral, image research and art-direction support.

The work needed to feel current and visually distinctive while staying recognisable within ELLE’s global editorial language.

02 / APPROACH

From image research to a page that feels considered.

01

RESEARCH THE STORY

I researched imagery, references and visual direction for fashion and beauty features, drawing from agency libraries, archives and curated visual research.

02

SHAPE THE PAGE

I developed editorial layouts for features and special sections, balancing typography, photography, pacing and information hierarchy.

03

EXTEND ACROSS TOUCHPOINTS

I translated editorial ideas into website graphics, social content, newsletters, event collateral and campaign assets.

04

REVIEW AS A WHOLE

Before issues went to print, I prepared board prints to review page flow, colour and visual rhythm across the complete issue.

03 / EDITORIAL DESIGN

Fashion, beauty, features and lifestyle.

I designed editorial spreads for high-profile features, working closely with photographers, stylists and editors. Each layout needed to support the story while maintaining the magazine’s premium, contemporary visual language.

04 / DIGITAL + CAMPAIGN

Extending the magazine into digital and live moments.

Beyond the printed page, I created visual assets for ELLE India’s website, social channels, newsletters, email campaigns and digital advertising. I also designed posters, flyers, banners and brochures for fashion, beauty and health-focused events and promotions.

05 / ART DIRECTION

Building visual direction for shoots and partnerships.

I developed moodboards and visual references for product photography and client-facing shoots. This work helped align creative teams around a clear direction before production began.

I also supported art direction and reviewed the visual quality of photography for fashion, beauty and lifestyle features.
