Cell Press publishes over 50 scientific journals across the life, physical, earth, and health sciences, both independently and in partnership with scientific societies. Their research journal, Cell Reports, hosts open cover submissions for each volume release highlighting any one of the papers or articles featured in that volume. A researcher who’s paper would feature in the upcoming issue of Cell Reports commissioned me to design a cover art submission based on his research paper. Although my cover art entry was not selected for that volume I did receive compensation from the author who commissioned me.
