Contribution from portugal
“ How many Europeans can identify all the countries in Europe?
The common knowledge is still too ignorant about this subject. People, mostly teenagers, only recognize the neighbour countries or the ones that usually media talks about. Even those that belong to the European Union are often forgotten.
The empty shapes are a metaphor for the information that is available to everyone but that is constantly ignored. Simple geometrical shapes were chosen to show that Europe is an easy continent, so the puzzle should be easy to build. But “Some people don’t know how to do puzzles”. And others don’t want to know. ”
 
BIOGRAPHY
This project was developed by a group of three students (João Belo, Maria João Vinagre and Ricardo Ayres, all of them born in 1989), attending to the curricular unit of Digital Image, a 2nd grade subject of the under graduation in Communication Design in the faculty of Fine Arts of the University of Porto.
In this subject students were asked to take part in the contest “Europe by Designers”, using the Adobe Illustrator CS3 software.
