Medical Illustration

Niche can provide most forms of artwork, from line and full colour illustration to template design, charts, graphs and tables for use in presentations and a range of other communication vehicles.

We use traditional and digital techniques to create medical illustrations that have appeared in:

Medical textbooks
Professional journals, posters and promotional materials
Instructional videotapes and animations
Slide decks and web-based media
Computer-assisted learning programs
General magazines and newsletters

Telling a story is essential to any presentation and our team integrates technical artistic ability with a comprehensive understanding of medicine and science. We produce scientifically accurate content that when combined with attractive and informative design serves to provide effective clarity in communication.

“The ApaTech team first encountered Niche 2008, prior to being acquired by Baxter, we also continued to work with the team during assimilation. We have had the good fortune to work with several members of the Niche team. The activities they were involved with included preparation and submission of well-presented abstracts, posters, manuscripts and marketing pieces to a broad variety of audiences.”

Frequently Asked Questions

What experience do you have with creating scientific illustrations and figures for peer-reviewed journal submissions?

Niche has extensive experience creating scientific illustrations and figures for its many successful peer-reviewed journal submissions. We have worked on projects ranging from basic biomedical illustrations to complex data visualisation.

We are familiar with various journal guidelines and have supported manuscripts in fields like oncology, cardiology and immunology. Our focus is always on accuracy, clarity and ensuring the figures meet the journal’s technical specifications.

How do you ensure that the figures accurately represent the data and scientific content?

Our writers work closely with authors to ensure that the figures accurately reflect the data and the key messages they want to convey.

We review all source data, confer with the researchers to clarify key points and provide drafts for review at various stages. Our goal is to balance scientific accuracy with visual clarity, ensuring that the figures are not only accurate but also understandable for the target audience.

Are you familiar with the specific journal’s figure formatting guidelines and how do you handle revisions based on reviewer or editor feedback?

Journal requirements change frequently so we make it a point to review the figure formatting guidelines for the target journals prior to starting work on any illustrations. We ensure that the figures comply with their specifications regarding dimensions, colour schemes (CMYK or RGB), font choices and file types.

We are responsive to requests for revisions and can quickly adapt figures based on reviewer or editor feedback, whether it’s adjusting the layout, enhancing the clarity, or modifying the presentation of data.
