Ten Second Science Shorts Covers
Three 1080x1920 YouTube Shorts covers, each with a line-drawn Erlenmeyer flask built from filled bands, translucent atom orbits behind it, a lab bench rule and one giant Londrina Solid word over a two-line Sora caption, with every page cycling the ground through near-black, lab teal and hazard yellow. Punchy and science-club bright, organised as a numbered series with a fixed episode chip top left and all type and art inside the middle 60 percent of the frame.

- Then rewrite "Subtitle" (Sora) and "Series name" (Sora) with your details.
- There are no photos to replace, the design is built from type and shapes.
- Change the background from #101615 to your own colour, then recolour the accents in #14a198 and #ffc72c.
- Keep the 3 pages you need, duplicate the ones you want more of and delete the rest.
