The sustainability strategy of Salzburg University of Applied Sciences is built around six interconnected areas of action.
The challenge was to translate this complex strategic framework into a clear and engaging cover illustration for the university’s digital “warum!” magazine.
The concept visualizes sustainability as a system in which every element influences and supports the others. Six individual forms come together to create a connected structure, demonstrating that meaningful change can only happen when all areas work in unison.
The project combined conceptual development, art direction and CGI to create a distinctive editorial visual that communicates an abstract topic in an accessible and memorable way. The illustration was developed as both a static cover image and an animated digital experience.
Love this!
Thank you so much Bella!

Why Editorial Design Is Making a Comeback in 2026
Editorial Design is more than a visual style – it's a storytelling approach inspired by premium magazines and luxury publications.
✨ Best for:
• Coaches and educators with a strong personal brand
• Creative entrepreneurs and artists
• Luxury and high-end service providers
• Course creators who want a premium feel
✨ What makes it different:
• Bold, expressive typography
• More white space and breathing room
• Asymmetrical, magazine-inspired layouts
• Strong focus on imagery and visual hierarchy
• A sophisticated, curated aesthetic
Unlike traditional business websites, Editorial Design feels less corporate and more like an experience.
The mix of magazine-style asymmetry and generous breathing room feels like the strongest part of this direction. When you use it for coaches, how do you keep longer sales copy from breaking the editorial rhythm?
Designed 3 posters for a local bar's Sunday jam nights, with Envato as my toolkit. 🎸🎤
Envato gave me hero images, background texture, and animated video. But none of it works on its own. Someone still has to make the calls.
Human by Design: AI got me fast raw material. Making it feel like this bar took real decisions - recoloring and chroma-keying a stock video before animating, chasing a grimy texture over a clean AI render, picking one generated scene out of several for its energy - then building the composition and type myself.
Toolkit: @Envato Elements, Envato AI, After Effects, Illustrator.
