This image seems very bright and saturated to me. But that may not be a bad thing if you are trying to highlight the crazy things you can do with a tool. For a series, though, it would be helpful if the banner is more standardized. That way it's easy for other people to help create them for future articles. Notice how the banners for the systemd series has a theme. Check out the right side of this article and see the banners for all the entries in the series: http://fedoramagazine.org/systemd-getting-a-grip-on-units/ Notice also that each banner has wording that tells the viewer what to expect in the article. That's helpful for a series as well. Each featured image banner is used not just on the Magazine site, but also in social media to attract readers. People often look at the image before they read any text, and this can draw them to read the article. I would recommend having a more "standardized" banner for the featured image that sits above the article and in social media. But then you could use this type of "artistic" image in the body of the article. That could immediately follow the introductory paragraph to show off some output from the design tool. (That would be different from images of the tool itself, which could be in screenshots later in the article.) I think that might be a very interesting way to entice people to keep reading. -- Paul W.
