Build one strong visual idea

A cover should communicate one memorable research theme rather than reproduce an entire paper. Select a scientifically defensible subject and a visual metaphor that remains understandable without dense labels.

  • Define one focal subject and depth hierarchy
  • Request negative space for publisher typography
  • Avoid generated logos, journal names, and issue text
  • Describe color, lighting, and mood without obscuring the science

Review science even when the image is conceptual

Editorial art can simplify or dramatize, but it should not imply a false structure, scale, result, or mechanism. Ask a domain expert to review recognizable scientific elements.

  • Check every label and scientific term
  • Verify arrows, structures, and causal relationships
  • Compare the draft with the source data or manuscript
