Pricing

Custom design, tailored to your needs

Every project is unique. Our pricing for journal cover art and scientific illustration is based on complexity, scope, and the value we bring.

Typical project

$300 – $900 USD

Based on our experience working with our valuable clients, our pricing typically falls within this range, depending on the type of project.

  • A custom concept designed around your paper
  • Revisions until you are happy with the result
  • Journal-ready files: PDF, PNG, TIFF and JPG at the right size and resolution
  • The artwork is yours to use in any form or media
  • Pay by card or wire transfer after the project is finalised

How we determine pricing for scientific illustrations & journal cover art

At ScienceBrush Design, we specialize in scientific illustrations and journal cover art, providing high-quality visuals tailored to the needs of researchers, scientists and academic professionals. Our pricing is flexible, ensuring that each project receives the attention and customization it deserves. We evaluate several key factors to determine the cost:

Project complexity

The level of detail, technical precision, and artistic elements required. A simple scientific illustration may take less time, while intricate journal cover designs with multiple visual elements demand a more in-depth creative process.

Turnaround time

If you need a scientific journal cover design on a tight deadline, we allocate additional resources to meet your timeframe. Standard timelines allow for a more methodical and refined approach to ensure the highest quality.

Revisions & scope

Our pricing includes a set number of revisions to perfect your design. Additional changes beyond the agreed scope may require extra work, which influences the final cost.

Examples

Scientific illustrations, TOCs and covers

Alongside journal covers, we design graphical abstracts, TOC entries and illustrations for papers, presentations and media releases.

Scientific illustration of an experimental device setup with labelled components.
A lab setting showing a brain being monitored while resting on an electrical platform. The cover is for Lab on a Chip.
Illustration of a graphene and h-BN device with photocurrent at the edge states.
Graphical abstract showing the conversion of nitrate to ammonia on a catalyst surface.
Molecules passing through a crystalline membrane lattice.
The front cover of Catalysis Science and Technology on the topic of asymmetric catalysis.
An AFM tip probing an exosome on an h-BN surface.
Comparison of TON and MFI zeolite structures and how molecules move through them.
Process schematic for producing graphene–metal composites.
Illustration of an integrated renewable energy and chemical production system.
The back cover of RSC Green Chemistry. The image shows two paths, one made of plastic waste and another of pine trees, which combine to form a membrane.
Battery electrode illustration showing charge and discharge with lithium ions.
The front cover of JPCL showing a potential energy surface as a result of neutron scattering, used to reveal the phonon density of states of liquids.
Illustrated scene created for a science communication graphic.
