Yesterday we spent time with the #Incyte team as part of our ongoing collaboration.
It’s always valuable to hear the science directly from the people behind it and think together about how visual strategy can support their goals.
Conversations like these are where strong scientific visuals begin!
Congratulations !!
Color in scientific visuals is semantic.
🔴 Red=activation: inflammation, upregulation, pathway turned on
🔵 Blue=baseline: control, stability, homeostasis
🟢 Green=growth: proliferation, recovery, renewal
Color is part of the narrative

Great work! Congratulations Max!
We designed the slides for one of the 2025 @ash.hematology.org plenary talks! #IrenaeusChan
At that scale, slides aren’t visual aids; they’re stage design.
Cohesion becomes critical.
When a deck feels unified, the science feels clearer.
Strong decks feel like they came from one mind!

This cover for molsystbiol.org adapts Gustav Klimt’s Hope II into a cover art
The challenge was balance: keeping the emotional weight of the original artwork while communicating the science of placental immune dynamics during pregnancy.

Before we illustrate, we ask:
- What can we remove?
Clarity in scientific figures often comes from subtraction, not addition.
Showing less can communicate more.

Loved illustrating the summary figure for this review on AI-assisted transcriptomic signatures in pancreatic cancer, in @uegj.bsky.social .
A special full-circle moment with the @crcm.bsky.social team in Marseille. @nelsondusetti.bsky.social !

✨ Happy Holidays from the DrawImpacts team ✨
Grateful to the researchers, labs, journals, and partners who trusted us to help visualize their science this year.
Wishing you a restful holiday season and a bright year ahead!

Proud to have our DrawImpacts cover featured in the new issue of @cp-cellstemcell.bsky.social for the Jamieson Lab!
Excited to share our latest cover @cp-cellstemcell.bsky.social, for the Jamieson lab’s study on space-associated stem cell aging using the HSPC-FOMA-R framework!🌼🚀
Dandelions, drifting seeds & an hourglass bring their findings to life✨

Happy Thanksgiving from #DrawImpacts! 🍂
As we wrap up another busy season of illustrations, figures, covers, and creative projects, we’re taking a moment to appreciate the brilliant community around us.
Wishing everyone a warm and inspired holiday break! 🧡
🗓️ Calendar packed? Figures still blank? Been there. 😅
That’s why I started DrawImpacts: to help scientists turn rough sketches and late-night ideas into clear, publication-ready visuals.
🎨 Visuals that draw real impact.

New in NatureGenetics! 🧠
We illustrated the cover submission for this paper on epigenetic editing of memory expression, a beautiful take on molecular memory. Congrats to all authors!

Interesting data-backed look at something we often feel intuitively as designers: visuals shape trust and perception long before words do.
💠 Even in science, what we choose to show tells the story first!

🎨 The hidden technical side of scientific illustration
It’s not just about creativity: resolution, format, and color setup can make or break how your figure prints!

Our @fredhutchprotons.bsky.social illustration uses a card castle 🃏✨
Cancer cell on top, tumor tissue below. Pull away a fibroblast card → the whole structure collapses.
A metaphor for targeting the tumor environment, not just the cell!

Always a pleasure illustrating groundbreaking science! Congratulations @guillaumedebo.bsky.social !
🎉 Thrilled to share our first @angewandtechemie.bsky.social cover!
Huge congratulations to @guillaumedebo.bsky.social and Lei Chen on this beautiful work!
The cover picture depicts a firefly (BSJ-04-146) luring a moth (FAK) to the carnivorous plant (proteasome) and was designed by DrawImpacts.
We turn complex science into striking visuals, like this cover we illustrated for Dr. @behnamnabet.bsky.social et al. on FAK inhibitors and PROTACs. 🦋
👩🔬 Know someone doing great research? Tag them, we’d love to help share their story. #JournalCovers #DrawImpacts #SciArt
New cover for @cp-trendsendomet.bsky.social !⚡⛈️
The piece explores post-exertional malaise in long COVID; brain fog, fatigue, and pain triggered by even small efforts.
Grateful to help visualize this important work!! #RobWust

Thank you!
Studio’s got a new intern today. 👶🎨
She’s only a few months old, but she’s already seen more journal covers than most!
Running a creative biz + parenting isn’t easy—but helping science move forward?
Totally worth the sleepless nights. 💛

Something exciting just landed in the mail! Thrilled to share that one of our illustrations has been featured on the cover of Genes&Development — a first for us!
Big congratulations to #SihemCheloufi and her incredible team for their groundbreaking science.

Congratulations!!
It was a pleasure illustrating your paper! Congratulations on the amazing research!
🌟 Excited to share our latest logo design for the @chromajain.bsky.social
The design blends a nucleosome- with the letter "J." We also designed their website—take a look! 🚀 jain-lab.org
