I crafted the Law infographic through a step-by-step process. Firstly, I utilized Adobe Express, a user-friendly design tool, to build a personalized template that was suitable for presenting information about the subject of Law. In order to become proficient with this software, I made use of instructional videos specifically created for Adobe Express. These tutorials helped me to gain a solid grasp of the tool's features and functionalities, ensuring that I could make the most out of it.
As I delved deeper into my project, I spent a significant amount of time experimenting and tinkering with Adobe Express. Through this hands-on exploration, I learned how to navigate the platform effectively, manipulate visual elements, and optimize the layout of my infographic. This trial-and-error approach allowed me to refine my skills and gain a better understanding of how to use Adobe Express to create a visually appealing and informative infographic that effectively conveyed the subject matter of Law. The process of combining creativity and technical skill, along with diligent practice, culminated in a finished product that successfully presented the complex topic of Law in a visually engaging and informative manner.

This sleek, cutting-edge design was specifically chosen to draw people in and help with retention. Black is associated with mystery and sophistication. That is the beauty of this entire project; its focus is so sophisticated, yet clouded by so much uncertainty and possibility. Yellow is associated with hope. Despite how unsure we are about the future of robotics, mobility, and drones, we still maintain the hope that we can stay on top of the trends surrounding them, while remaining careful not to end up left behind. Yellow can also help us become more analytical and find solutions through creativity, which is exactly the type of mindset this undertaking requires. Blue is associated with calm and responsibility, helping us feel more comfortable facing the tasks at hand.
You will find that important numbers and statistics are boldened and set apart from the rest of the texts. This is to aid in retention. It is additionally meant to emphasize that these are big numbers due to the fact that these technological advancements will have large impacts on our world. Everything, as we know them now, will change. It would be best not to mince words or numbers. It would be best not to underestimate the impressions to come. It would be in everyone's best interest to be prepared.
MOOD BOARD - FILIP MALESEV

The mood board was designed, primarily, to facilitate an overall consistent aesthetic that we will be utilizing moving forward. While this artifact is subject to change as we delve deeper into the various necessary components of the final product, the documentary will be enhanced by using a consistent color motif.
To that end, the mood board was made with the knowledge of emotions and feelings certain colors elicit. Blue is the primary color, but I've opted to specifically use a darker shade, highlighted by grays, whites, and some lighter blues. This is, mainly, due to the apparent association of the color blue with technology. Whether this is because of some association with the calmness and security of the color blue, or if this is due to some corporate branding practices, I am not sure. However, the utilization of blue shades seems to be quite prevalent within tech, whether that is for logos or actual parts. (Oddly enough, many internal components of giant companies tend to be single-color branded, such as Intel with blue, NVIDIA with green, AMD with red, etc.)
In addition, a significant and interesting component of MR&D according to some of our research, shows tech in agriculture, military, and healthcare to be especially of note. As such, shades of teal and green are seen throughout some parts of the mood board. I made this a part of the overall color scheme in order to draw emphasis on these technologies specifically, as all three have strong associations with green. (Military camo and colors tend to be a dark faded green, healthcare and surgeons use blue, teal, and green items as shown in the board, and agriculture is often associated with growth and, literally, plants, which are green)
Lastly, the contrast between light and dark shades exists to seem more futuristic. Often when we look at sci-fi scenarios, we employ an extensive use of gray and white, seemingly as some kind of "sterilized" version of the future where we've figured out how to clean everything. White, as a color that is relatively devoid of shade, serves as a deep contrast to the darker hues present, both for reasons that appeal to the aforementioned futuristic vision, but also so it visually pops. Too much leaning into accompanying colors tends to make the viewer tired, especially when the overall color scheme is so melancholy.

From self-driving cars and delivery robots to aerial photography and disaster relief, these technologies are having a major impact on our lives.
Here are just a few examples of how mobility robotics and drones are being used today:
Self-driving cars and trucks are revolutionizing the transportation industry. Self-driving vehicles can reduce traffic congestion, improve safety, and make transportation more accessible for people with disabilities.
Delivery robots are helping to make our lives easier and more convenient. Delivery robots can bring groceries, packages, and other goods to our doorsteps, saving us time and hassle.
Aerial photography and videography drones are being used in a variety of industries, including construction, real estate, and entertainment. Drones can provide unique perspectives and insights that would be difficult or impossible to obtain with traditional photography methods.
Drones are also being used for disaster relief and search and rescue operations. Drones can be used to assess damage, locate survivors, and deliver supplies to remote areas.
Mobility and robotics is having a profound impact on society, both positive and negative. On the one hand, it is making transportation safer, more efficient, and more accessible for people of all abilities. On the other hand, it is raising concerns about job displacement and the potential for misuse.
The use of drones has had a significant impact on the way that wars are fought. They have made it possible to conduct military operations with greater precision and less risk to human life. However, the use of drones has also raised several ethical concerns, such as the potential for civilian casualties and the difficulty of holding operators accountable for their actions.
As mobility robotics and drones continue to develop, we can expect to see even more innovative and groundbreaking applications for these technologies.
