All sorts!
I currently provide illustrations for the following applications. See my portfolio for examples.

• Journal covers
• Graphical abstracts and ToC figures
• Publication figures
• Infographics (e.g. for grant applications)
• Presentation title slides
• Pitch deck designs

I also provide animation services, whether you need a clip to help describe a complex idea for a presentation, or you need a full promotional video for your startup. Get in touch to find our more!

Lots! Whether it be protein-protein interactions, bioelectronic devices, nanomaterial growth or electronic devices, my academic research experiences have equipped me with the knowledge needed to understand and capture your science. Not convinced? Lets have a chat!

Static illustrations include journal covers, table of content figures, general illustrations, poster/presentation slides, etc.

Whenever you request an illustration commission from me, the work will typically progress through the following stages:

1. Initial consultation
   An effective illustration requires a good understanding of the underlying science. I use this consultation to ask you about your research and/or project so that I can understand how best to capture it. We will also discuss your idea, needs and expectations for the commission.
   
2. First draft
   Based on our initial consultation, I will create an first rough draft that captures the key elements of the illustration and some basic stylistic points. I will request your feedback and encourage as much correction points as possible. At this stage, the image can undergo major revisions (e.g. complete redo of the image theme, altering significant portions of the image).
   
3. Second draft
   The second draft should be very close to the required final image. Again, I will request your feedback. At this stage, I only allow for minor revisions. This includes: colouring, repositioning/removal of scene elements, small edits to existing scene elements, etc.
   
   Please note: if major revisions are requested at this stage, additional payment will be required to implement them. Any revision point that significantly alters the image qualifies as major revision. This includes:
   – Changing of the entire theme of the image
   – Substantial changes to existing scene elements (which requires them to be drawn from scratch)
   – Addition of new scene scene elements (which requires them to be drawn from scratch)
   
4. Finalised illustration
   

An animation commission follows the same basic workflow as for a static illustration.
However, an animation may have a complex narrative, multiple scenes, music requirements, and so on. Therefore, more initial work is required to define the product. The main additional preparatory step is storyboarding.

1. Initial consultation
   
2. Storyboarding
   Storyboarding is the process by which we plan the shots that comprise the animation. The level of storyboarding detail will depend on the complexity of the animation. This will entail creating a list of all shots, together with a representative image of each shot and description of any scene movements.
   
3. First draft
4. Second draft
5. Finalised animation

My typical timescale for static illustrations is 2-3 weeks, from initial consultation to finalised graphic.

For animations, the timescale will significantly vary depending on the complexity and length of the project. However, a minimum of 2 months is anticipated.

My rates vary on a case-by-case basis. However, on average, my fees for illustrations are £500 (GBP) for journal covers and £200 (GBP) for smaller images such as graphical abstracts, publication figures. As stated, these prices are just for guidance. Please inquire for further details.

Under UK, EU and US law, copyright remains with me, the artist who created the commission. If you require exclusive copyright to the commission, I am happy to discuss a copyright transfer for a fee.
Please note that, for publication illustrations (journal covers, graphical abstracts etc), it is usual for the copyright to be formally transferred to the publisher upon submission.
