DC9-30 crew did not read the STAR chart properly and missed the fact they should have flown a 120 degree heading at jerik intersection. When queried, ATC issued a corrective vector. Reporter thinks the STAR should be reformatted.

Narrative:
Flying from cos-msp, we were on the rwf-RWF2 STAR. Both pilots missed the instructions of 120 degree heading at jerik. Approaching msp airport I queried approach about what heading he wanted to fly. He said 160 degrees and mentioned the heading on the STAR. Nearly all stars now have a graphic illustration of a required heading. This heading was in the text that is easier to miss. I believe all stars/sids should be standard and have the heading graphically depicted.

Narrative: FLYING FROM COS-MSP, WE WERE ON THE RWF-RWF2 STAR. BOTH PLTS MISSED THE INSTRUCTIONS OF 120 DEG HDG AT JERIK. APCHING MSP ARPT I QUERIED APCH ABOUT WHAT HDG HE WANTED TO FLY. HE SAID 160 DEGS AND MENTIONED THE HDG ON THE STAR. NEARLY ALL STARS NOW HAVE A GRAPHIC ILLUSTRATION OF A REQUIRED HDG. THIS HDG WAS IN THE TEXT THAT IS EASIER TO MISS. I BELIEVE ALL STARS/SIDS SHOULD BE STANDARD AND HAVE THE HDG GRAPHICALLY DEPICTED.
