Vivid Biology is a UK science illustration studio that makes your science stand out. We know the importance of scientific accuracy
and don't excuse artistic laziness as artistic licence. We focus on concepts and composition rather than complicated renders.

What makes us different
We love science and data. We also love art and design. We think it's criminal that these are so often seen as polar opposites. We believe in communicating science clearly, and it's a lot easier to do that with well-designed visuals.
We like research
We read the papers, and then we read a few more to check we're drawing everything correctly
Laser focus
We separate the signal from the noise and focus on the key details
Everything hand-drawn
All our work is drawn in ink on paper to give each piece a unique look
Composition and concepts
We aim to both think and look different. If it's been done before it can be done better.
We're sociable
We like bouncing ideas off other people and chatting through ideas over coffee
We like to share
We love posting works in progress and studio shots.

Who we work with
We work with research and industry to clearly visualise complicated concepts that they have difficultly explaining. We specialise in cellular processes that aren't easily seen or photographed, and in new technologies that would otherwise be obscured by jargon.We also work with researchers and educators who want to grab attention, particularly from those who don't usually engage with science. Just because science is serious doesn't mean it has to look boring.
