What the service aims to do

In practice
A scientific infographic condenses pages of explanation into an image that is quick to understand and easy to remember. It fits in a report, a poster, a presentation, a press kit or a social media post.
Cortex works with a varied pool of scientific illustrators: realistic drawing, technical diagrams, freer illustration, data visualisation. We choose the illustrator according to your subject and your audience, and a science writer works out the message with you before the first sketch.
How we work
- Reading your documents and choosing the main message.
- Visual storyboard: what the image must show, and in what order.
- Choice of illustrator and graphic style.
- Sketches, then rounds of feedback with your teams.
- Scientific validation by an expert in the field.
- Delivery in formats suited to your uses.
Who is involved
- Scientific illustrators with a range of styles.
- Writers specialising in science communication.
- Scientific experts to validate the content.
