This project was a pitch for Il Riformista, a Rome-based newspaper seeking to revive its identity with light-hearted illustrations.
Drawing inspiration from the article’s title, which compared geopolitics to Monopoly, I was challenged to depict the complexities of the EU’s current situation in response to Donald Trump’s unpredictable policies.
On the game board, each piece symbolises a different country, reinforcing the metaphor (e.g., a pear representing Russia). To maintain a playful yet insightful tone, I used a pastel color palette and a dynamic composition. The final illustration strikes a balance between humour and political commentary, making intricate international relations visually engaging and accessible.
