The artboard exports to 1328 × 531 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: At least 1328 × 531 px (a 5: 2 ratio) at 300 dpi; Arial, Times, Courier or Symbol, legible when shown 200 px high. - 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. ## Templates to start from Editable materials and nano templates that cite the papers they follow. Open one and switch its artboard to the Elsevier size.
