Shrimp Graphical Abstract

Job ID: 39967097

Budget: £20 – £250 GBP

I have a hand-drawn concept for a graphical abstract that needs to be turned into a polished, publication-ready figure. The focus is a clear, realistic depiction of how electromagnetic fields (EMFs) generated by submarine power cables alter shrimp behaviour.

Key points the illustration must communicate:
• Distinct visual differences between male and female shrimp
• Observable behaviour shifts in the presence of EMFs
• A clear cue that social interactions remain unchanged despite the fields

I’m after a realistic style rendered in vibrant colours so the final piece stands out in journals, conference posters, and digital media alike. My sketch maps out composition and annotations; you’ll translate that into crisp vector artwork (Adobe Illustrator or comparable), layer in concise labels/legends, and supply both high-resolution (print-ready) and editable source files.

Deliverables
1. Full-colour graphical abstract - Size: 1200 × 600 pixels (landscape orientation — 2:1 aspect ratio); Resolution: At least 300 dpi (for clear online display); File format: JPEG, PNG, or TIFF (no PDF); File size limit: < 2 MB
2. Max three revisions after initial draft to fine-tune clarity and visual balance

Acceptance criteria: Both key points above are instantly recognizable without reading accompanying text, colour palette remains vibrant yet publication compliant, and text elements are legible at standard journal column width.

Share your portfolio piece that best matches a realistic scientific illustration and let me know your estimated turnaround time.
