At first glance this seemed like a frivolous day which simply recommended you dress in blue. And why not. Blue is a decent colour so let’s celebrate it. But it’s actually a day to recognise awareness of colorectal cancer, and the choice of blue attire is a suggestion to act as a starting point for a conversation.

So here’s a map that adds to the conversation. All cancer is worth talking about. There’s an awful lot of impacted directly either in our own health or that of family and friends. Being aware. Checking for signs. talking. Getting assessed, and early diagnosis and treatment are all important. if it takes a blue short (or map) to get things started then so be it.

Original Prompt\ (ChatGPT)

Can you make a map illustration that highlights the importance of the awareness of colorectal cancer. The map should probably show cancer rates for this specific type of cancer. It should include useful facts, and be in an impactful style such as a health promotion poster. Awareness is recognised by the National Wear Blue Day so please illustrate the map content, and ancillary graphics in suitable shades of blue.
