When we look at mainstream illustration of older adults, the choices often fall short. Instead of empowering depictions, we’re frequently shown bleak, outdated stereotypes of ageing, portrayals that ignore the realities of older people today.
On the flip side, we also see airbrushed images of silver-haired ‘super-agers’ or curated snapshots of influencers that often represent an unattainable ideal, sometimes even enhanced by AI.
These images don’t tell the whole story either, creating another narrow and misleading view of ageing. Neither extreme reflects the individuality and diversity of older adults as we know them.
That’s why we have just released some new age-positive illustrations.
You can download them for free. The illustrations are perfect for creating designs and PowerPoints.
