RWJF surveyed the community to gather perspectives on their original bike graphic. The survey results led them to create both an updated bike graphic and a graphic based on an entirely new concept, which uses a curb to visualize the issue and introduces different characteristics of individuals and their environments. Their goal was to offer a graphic that depicted a more real-world situation. Both graphics are below.
As RWJF’s graphic artist, Joan Barlow, has noted: good design advances conversations and makes choices clearer. I applaud RWJF for giving us the artwork to have meaningful discussions that lead to change.
