I'm looking for a graphic I can use in Storyline of a file folder with a paperclipped poloroid that will allow me to add a graphic. Does anyone know where I can find one.
I've been using the one that comes with the templates in Storyline, sounds exactly like what you're describing. I like it especially because each part is a separate object I can change, copy, delete, arrange, etc. to get just what I want. Here's a picture of a prototype slide for a current project that uses that template.
@Jill - Thank you - as they say - "...if you want to get ahead, get a hat...".
@Nancy - I agree the image is faintly disturbing, (though possibly less disturbing than the original...?), however, there was a purpose to it.
I love playing around with images, just seeing how alternatives can be produced, after all, these forums and the ID-world is always saying "...how can we create interesting (free) imagery?".
For example, Gerry has often quoted a Civil War course that he would like to produce. Rather than just asking people to "click on an image" for example, why not "Look at the period image below, and then go to the second image, and click on the areas of interest we've selected to learn more...", as in the image below. It's a lot clearer what you want the learner to do, and a lot easier to add rectangular hotspots!!
This could be done even with company products, so long as the "correct" representation was shown first.
I think it's an interesting concept to explore, not just for faces...
Gee, thanks, Jill. I can't imagine the nightmares I'll have tonight after seeing this Picasso-esque creation. . . Indiana Graham and the Greying Temples of Doom.

Interesting idea, Bruce. Thanks! :)
I updated recently to the current version of my fave British software graphics program--Xara Designer Pro X. Coincidentally, I was looking at some of their photo widgets yesterday for the same purpose as you suggested. (Great minds think alike. )
I was looking at which of these widgets I could replicate natively with Storyline in some fashion and which I might have to bring in as something like a web object.
Here's are some versions and variations of what you suggested:
Made me think if down the line we could do things like this directly and natively in Storyline or if a 3rd-party Storyline add-on might be one day available.

iStock Photo, Shutterstock plus any of these.

...and if you need to make your own Polaroids, I recommend http://www.polaroin.com/
Look how good the images are!

I think Bruce has said it's a wombat.
I couldn't resist!
@Gerry - thanks for the enlightening wombat link.

Bruce is now sad.... :(
@Jill - love the hat.
@Gerry - warm milk before bed prevents nightmares.
@Bruce - don't be sad. You are awesome.
@Nancy - Bruce is happy again

Thanks for those Mr G.!
Loved the first one, 3rd one made me feel seasick the way it "fuzzed" the image!
3rd-Party add-ons, supported, sanctioned and verified by Articulate - that would be a fine thing.
