Research

After feedback from peers I have decided to explore the ideas of British Youth and their understanding of Brexit.

Key descriptive words:
- ill-informed 
- frustration
- ignored
- cut out of the process

Exerts from articles:
https://www.independent.co.uk/voices/final-say-brexit-young-people-march-put-it-to-the-people-second-referendum-a8780666.html
Research shows that young people would lose up to £108,000 in earnings in 30 years should brexit, in any form take place. 

"oh for god's sake, let's just sack it all off."

Why Theresa May's Brexit means oh shit.
The poster aims to be a plea not to vote for the conservatives based on environmental grounds. 
The poster subverts the prime minister's phrase "Brexit means Brexit", and outlines what Do the Green Thing argues that the european Union has done for the environment, compared to 'what the torries have done to damage it.' 

ME & EU

ME & EU is a collection of postcards written and designed by UK based creatives that were sent across Europe as a means to reconnect the united kingdom with the EU in the wake of Brexit. On 23rd June 2016, 51.9 per cent of UK citizens voted to withdraw from the European Union. The weeks following this referendum brought a global sense of division and disconnect as people evaluated their response and as voters of both ‘remain’ and ‘leave’ imagined the possibilities of a post-EU Britain. Me & eu is one such response.

The me & eu postcards provided an intimate medium for individuals wishing to remain in touch to express their message visually: many are quiet, personal, and heartfelt, others are dissenting and defiant. But together they form a powerful and passionate voice with an underpinning spirit of humour and positivity. Collectively, they’re a visual narrative of a country in transition.
