Me & EU project will send creative postcards across Europe on trigger date of Article 50

21 March 2017

Me & EU is a collection of postcards designed by UK-based creatives in reaction to the European referendum result of June 2016.

Since then, the project curated by designers Nathan Smith and Sam T Smith, has continued to grow including submissions from Craig Oldham, NB Studio, Catalogue and several designers from creative agency KesselsKramer. The front side of each postcard represents a designed opinion on the referendum result. The reverse displays a personal message from the creative, for example, “You can take Britain out of Europe but you’ll never take the Europe out of Britain,” from NB studio.

Each postcard is designed to be sent “across Europe as a means to reconnect us post the EU referendum,” explains the site.

The postcards will be sent all over Europe on the official trigger date of Article 50 which Theresa May announced will take place on the 29 March.

A grid of 80 small, diverse images and graphics on a deep blue background. The collection includes photographs, illustrations and typographic posters, many of which reference Brexit and the European Union.
