We designed the covers of a monthly science magazine, in which issues of cell biology, molecular genetics, and immunology are discussed as special features. We borrow from researchers the electron photomicrographs and experimental data of the cell featured each month and create artworks from those materials using Photoshop. We sometimes visit their laboratories and join their experiments to compose pictures. Thanks to editors who kindly explained scientists’ theses and reference materials to us, we were able to glimpse the deep world of science in our own interpretation. In this group of works we tried to visually convey those impressions to readers. The number of covers produced for six years has reached 72.
