I often find the use of people "cut-outs"--people images with transparent backgrounds--as facilitators through an online module to be both creative and useful for guidance. I've found quite a few of these images on sites like Microsoft's clip art gallery, but complete galleries of different poses by the same person seem hard to come by. I found one site that seems really good--www.elearningbrothers.com. Does anyone know of any others that have high-quality sets for a reasonable price (or even free)?
If you find characters with solid-colored backgrounds, try PowerPoint's Set Transparent Color (2007) and Remove Background (2010) tools. They work great.
The site contains thousands of cutout people images in addition to having millions of images/vector images. Unlike other sites, you can buy just single images if you desire. (Why invest lots of money if you just need a couple of images?) I'm a little biased because my organization created it, but I think its great!
If you take a look and can think of something you would like to see there, please let me know. We launched this 3 weeks ago and are still actively improving things as we get suggestions from the community.
Many thanks for that link - excellent! At last, some "normal" looking people!
A little limited in terms of content for many of the people here, but certainly a good-start.
If you could add a library of "business people", having conversations (standing, sitting etc.), I would certainly sign-up for Membership. This is a major area of need for the "commercial" eLearning designer IMHO.
I've been away from Storyline for almost 2 years. There used to be cutout people with transparent backgrounds here in Storyline that were really easy to insert into programs. What happened to them?

Hi Jen - Bryan over at Elearning Art does a really good job with characters: http://community.articulate.com/forums/t/3425.aspx

Two posts on removing backgrounds
Great! Thanks for the information, David!
I've purchased several packs from http://www.elearningart.com - $100 for 75 poses.
There are some really good ones at http://www.presenterpeople.com
There are only a small number of characters right now but each one has hundreds of different poses and lots of different facial expressions.
