Cover Illustrations are not only great for attracting the attention of the audience but also to give another perspective to the topic and increase memorability. These can be applied to PhD Thesis, Journal Cover or Web Design, and many other examples.
This project involved creating the cover for a PhD thesis and the illustrations for the chapters. The client, Dr. José, studied how specific receptors of the neurotransmitter Acetylcholine can be activated or blocked by novel photoswitchable drugs, altering neuronal activity. So, for this cover I used important data from José work and turned it into a pattern (image below) in which the front page is illuminated and the front page is in the shadow, to represent the drug activity modulated by light.
In my process, I focus not only on the concept illustration but also on the design of the cover, meaning how it relates to the text around it, its hierarchy and the typography that it is chosen.
