## How to make a Cell Press graphical abstract

- Open LabCanvas on an artboard at the Cell Press size: [Cell Press · graphical abstract, 1200 × 1200 px](https://www.labcanvas.com/editor.html?artboard=ga-cell). The artboard exports to 1200 × 1200 px at 300 dpi.
- Start from a template or the Library: crystals and MOFs, nanoparticles, battery cells, catalysts, instruments and plots are editable objects, not flat clip art.
- Tell one story from left to right: the material or system, what you did to it, and the result in one number or one plot.
- Keep the text short and large enough: One square panel, 1200 × 1200 px at 300 dpi (4 × 4 in); Arial 12–16 pt; no white border.
- Export at 300 dpi or more as PNG or TIFF (600 dpi where the journal asks for it), then look at it at thumbnail size before you upload.
