ELLE Italia

llustrations for Prima Persona – a monthly column in ELLE Italia.

Four years, twelve issues a year. Each illustration had to open an article – psychology, sociology, lifestyle – and communicate the whole idea instantly. No narrative buildup, no elaborate detail. Just one image that lands.

The constraints were strict: red, yellow, green, blue, black, white. That's it. The kind of limitation that turns out to be a gift.

Art Direction: Florian Ribisch
