ornamentación

A text describing how Argentine women artists were able to get their work to wider audiences. This usage seems to exceed illustration, and doesn't seem to be layout either:
Por ejemplo, Carlota Stein (1899-1960) extendió su interés por el pasado a la ilustración de la serie Medallones de ayer, publicada en la revista El Hogar, y Cecilia Marcovich realizó la ornamentación de uno de los números de la revista Expresión, proyecto de diversos intelectuales de izquierda. Ambas desarrollarían en otros espacios su inclinación por la gráfica.
"decorated an issue of the magazine" seems strange too...any ideas?
Thanks

design
Here's a picture of the front page, which refers to her "ornamentación":

You could say "designed" or "did the graphic design for". It looks like it includes illustrations and typography.

design / ornamentation / adornment / decoration
I guessed it would mean 'design' or 'decoration' but the dictionary provides 'ornamentation' and 'adornment' as definitions.
Example sentence:
Realizó la ornamentación de uno de los números de la revista, proyecto de varios intelectuales de izquierda.
She completed the design of one of the magazine's numbers (editions). a design project from several left wing intellectuals.

: I've already said design and, as Wendy has pointed out, your other suggestions don't work here.

design and layout
Alternative: graphic design and layout.
(Minor imperfection: The reader may hesitate unnecessarily because "graphic" doesn't modify "layout" here.)
(Note: These are idiomatic terms used in newspaper and magazine publication. Millions of Google hits for the search -- magazine "design and layout".)
Example:
www.adcawards.org › categories › publication-design
This discipline focuses on design and craftsmanship in books, magazines, newspapers ... Overall design and layout of a book primarily geared towards image.

: (graphic) design and layout. It iobviously refers to her graphic design throughout the review, not just the cover, and possibly including illustrations
