This case study was done as a team, together with Chloe Ma and Ingrid Barany. We were given limited reports and scans for a plaintiff who sustained injuries in a motor vehicle accident. These were to be interpreted and used to create exhibits suitable for use as demonstrative evidence in litigation. These exhibits would be projected on a courtroom screen and explained to the jury by a medical expert.

While the exhibits are meant to show the plaintiff sustained significant injuries, to be admissible in the courtroom as evidence, they must be accurate, objective, and cannot evoke a strong emotional response.

Our team had a truly collaborative approach and worked on all three panels together. While we assigned responsibilities to ensure tasks got done, we shared the tasks. We each had a hand in all parts of the process (including document interpretation, sketching, rendering, and layout), passing files between us and working together in real time.
