I work for a non-profit organization that builds online courses around the topics of adolescent sexual health. I love Storyline, but find the character bundles lacking when it comes to culturally diverse youth characters. Is anybody aware of options out there for Storyline characters that are of high school age? I've been directed towards E-Learning Bros and E-Learning Art sites, but wondering if folks had found any others?
What are looking for? Illustrated or photographic characters? If you are looking for some custom illustrated, I can help you out. You can visit my website. I can draw the characters in a variety of styles.
Thanks so much for all the replies. On my current projects, I'm looking for photographic characters. Jerson and Wendy, thanks for reference to options for illustrated characters. I've got some projects later this year in which we might use illustrated characters. I'm trying to convince my manager to come up with some money to hire and photograph some characters that suit the project needs.
Now, two years later, I'm in the same boat as Matt. Are there any further updates to the animated collections for culturally diverse youth? Any further outside resources?
eLearning Brothers has a number of photographic teenage and young adult characters of varying ethnicity. No illustrated/animated ones yet, but requests can be made.
What are you planning to do with the characters? Will you be using them as presenters like the the built in illustrated characters or will they need to have more dynamic poses as part of a story? Either way I think you are going to be limited on your options unless you get something custom created for you.
I don't currently have any teenagers on my website (adults, kids, monsters, and cats; but no teenagers). I can create custom characters if you are interested.
We now have an eLearning Brothers account, as Adam referenced. It is the best option that we found for teen/multicultural characters...although I still wish I could find even more :)
I'd like to second the need for more younger characters - particularly adolescents - in Storyline. I design elearning courses for people working with children and young people from a culturally diverse background and would find it really useful (either photographic or illustrated).
Agree on the teen characters. I work in retail where most of our non-management employees are high school/college aged. Also, if we could get some characters with disabilities that would be wonderful!

Hi Matt
there is a website called www.fiverr.com where you can get SL characters built to spec including poses so that may be an option for you

HI Matt,
I have used istockphotos.com for K-12. Expensive but high quality.
Cheers, Julie
Hi Matt,
It's also worth sharing your thoughts on what types of characters you'd like to see in the form of a feature request here!

Thanks for sharing the link Sarah! This will be useful on many of the courses I build.
