After reading the arictle sevral times and highlighting the key points, I wrote down the main pionts of the artitcle and what I thought were important points / quote that couild help me with my illustration.

I came up with too many ideas when drawing my frist thumbnails. I decided to follow / explore only 3 of them futher.
futher dvelopment

For Idea one I was thinking of using the stars from the EU flag, with polatitions fighting and also showing the crisis in some way. I didn't really like the way going it was getting to busy.

For Idea two I was looking at useing a borad game to reposent the left and right sides of politcs. Or how the 'crisis' are like pieces on a board detemaning the otcome of eupores elections.

I quite liked the broad game Idea. I was going try using a chess broad with a map layed on top and have the pieces be the differnt crisises. However this is a little too complicated. so I decided aganist it.

With my third idea I wanted to do sometime that involed voting, but choice to go even simpler and just focse on the ballot box.
To show eurpore the a map will be on the box.
I wanted to put voting slips into the illustration but I didn't want them to be blank, instead I wanted them tho showcase the differnt crisis. This then requied me to deign the five cards that would show them.

Finalizing Illustration.
I needed the cards / voting slips to be as simple as possible, while still being clear of what they are meant to be showing.
Once finalzing the degins, I worked on how I wanted the colours to be arraged. I already knew I wanted them to be blue and yellow becauce those are the colours of the EU flag.
