# Monochrome Technical Schematic

Create a **monochrome technical schematic** in a **black-and-white line-art style**.

## Visual Style

- Strictly **black and white only**
- **No colors, no gradients, no shadows**
- Clean **technical / engineering diagram** aesthetic
- Slightly **hand-drawn / Excalidraw-like** feel, but still neat and legible
- Use **thin-to-medium black outlines**
- White or very light background
- Minimal visual clutter
- Simple icons and shapes
- High contrast
- Flat 2D composition

## Layout

- Arrange the diagram in a clear **left-to-right systems flow**
- Use **rectangular labeled boxes** for entities/components
- Connect components with **arrows** showing flow, dependency, or exchange
- Keep spacing even and readable
- Make the composition feel like a **technical architecture overview**
- Include small labels on arrows where useful

## Typography

- Use **uppercase labels**
- Bold, condensed, technical-looking text where possible
- Keep text short, readable, and diagrammatic
- Prioritize legibility over decoration

## Content Rules

- Focus on **structure, relationships, and flow**
- Prefer icons, chips, servers, factories, wafers, arrows, and simple symbols
- Avoid photorealism
- Avoid glossy UI elements
- Avoid colorful infographic style
- Avoid poster-like marketing style

## Output Goal

The result should look like a **black-and-white systems schematic** or **monochrome technical explainer diagram**, suitable for explaining an industry, supply chain, or software/hardware architecture.

## Negative Constraints

- No color accents
- No blueprints with dark backgrounds
- No 3D rendering
- No realistic shading
- No fancy illustration style
- No comic style
- No cluttered infographic look
