- The historical event leading up to the Israel and Palestine Conflict is something that occurred almost a century ago where The1947 United Nations Partition Plan for Palestine never took place nor it was considered which triggered the Palestine War from 1947-1949. Afterwards, 1967 Six Day War took place when the Israeli military occupied the West Bank and Gaza (Palestine territory). Then the 1973 Yom Kippur War took place all the way until the current war in 2023. A geopolitical aspects that caused the Israel and Palestine War is clash over land, Israel being creating which resulted a series of war, issues between their borders and settlements, the fight over considering Jerusalem as their capital city, alliance with international countries and different religious belief. A socio-economic aspects that lead up to this conflict is how Israel policies weaken and seized the Palestine economy to their land itself. This created a rise of  poverty and unemployment that nearly made it impossible to create any sort of peace to be taken held of.

- For data visualization, I would use charts, graphs, and maps to provide information. Such as I would use timeline for historical context that lead up to the current conflict. I would use map to show how Israel slowly conquered the land over the years as Palestine becomes a small territory. I would use bar charts to show how many Israelis and Palestinians have died over the years. 

- Designers that is influencing my work is Anthony Burrell who is a UK-based graphic artists. Where I want to create a neutral design in order to layout a clear message to communicate with full empathy and understanding of the conflict for the ones who are outside of this geographic area where the conflict is taking place. 

- The fonts that I am intending to use is Arial, Helvetica and Futura to provide a modern style. 

-The design motifs that I am considering is peace, faith in humanity and unity.

-My audience are possibly the general public who have limited knowledge or not so familiar with the conflict that is taking place on the other side of the world. 

-The type of grids that I am intending on using is a Manuscript grids where I can throw in visualizations and information without facing limited space.
