When asked to define hero images for a visual cover art for each of their Alamy's collection, we thought it best to give you a little run down on each category. Our aim is to guide you to illustrate key imagery to act as Collection Cover Art that feel representative, allowing you to dig deeper into each of the four categories. This is about giving you ideas, and generate a spark of creativity to work out your illustrative cover art.
