Illustration depicting two different kinds of platform workers. On the left, a woman with long dark hair stands in front of a professional-looking camera. Next to her is a reflective umbrella for light manipulation in photography. On the right, a man rides a bicycle with a rectangular box on his back, suggesting a food delivery worker. In the background are geometric shapes reminiscent of graphs and charts: a pie chart with no labels and slightly disconnected segments, and a series of rectangles reminiscent of a bar graph.
