Elena Steers - UK-based editorial illustrator specialising in digital collage for magazines and publishing.
This page features a selection of speculative editorial illustration and digital collage work .
I specialise in editorial illustration for magazines, newspapers, and publishing clients and commissioned artwork. My work is suited to projects that require a strong visual concept, whether for cultural commentary, features, or cover design.
Working closely with art directors, I will develop imagery that aligns with editorial content while offering a visually engaging and contemporary approach. My digital collage style allows for flexibility across a range of subjects, from conceptual narratives to bold, graphic compositions.
