Original illustrations for your scientific manuscript
Illustrations increase the effectiveness and impact of your communication.
We can increase your research impact by helping you visualize your data or sketch
We understand that not all researchers are graphic designers. Our team of expert illustrators works with you to create original figures, graphs, posters, or other diagrams. We know how to turn your data and ideas into visuals that have impact. An illustrator will work hand-in-hand with you to develop your sketch, graphic, or idea.
Our expert illustrators understand your research
We hire only highly experienced illustrators with backgrounds in many academic fields. We work closely with you to turn your ideas and data into figures. We can redraw low-resolution graphics to provide you with a high-quality illustration. We will continue to adjust the illustration, graph, or diagram until you’re happy with the presentation of your data or idea.

Provide a clear sketch of your data or idea
Please provide a sketch drawn by hand or created in a program such as Word or Powerpoint to allow our team to develop a visual concept based on your ideas. Although additional written instructions are helpful, we cannot work solely from a written summary or manuscript.
Choose a style from our extensive library
We have developed examples that are suitable for publication in high-impact SCI-listed journals. Choose a style for your illustration based on your personal preference and the appearance of similar figures already published in your chosen journal.
Include original data or images you would like us to incorporate
High-resolution photographs and vector graphs produce the most attractive and accurate results. We can redraw elements to provide you with a high-quality illustration.
Consider the size restrictions of your chosen journal
It is best to plan for your illustration to fit onto one page of a print journal. If you include too many elements in a single illustration, your order may be delayed while we ask you to decide how to divide it into two or more illustrations.
