I've been looking at a lot of the recommended free images, characters, etc. and haven't found a ton of great content for when your audience is 90% manufacturing employees. You lose a lot of credibility when the average demographic is blue collar males 25-50 and you start throwing images of Atsumi in a conference room in your training.
Does anybody have any recs as to where to turn for great characters/pics in a manufacturing world?
Hopefully someone in the community that has a resource for this will be able to chime in and assist. I did want to share a similar thread in case you found it helpful.
What are you looking for? Illustrated or Photographic? If you need something specific like clothing, safety gear, or colors you are gonna have a hard time looking for this in stock sites. I've created a couple of custom characters for different companies. You can look at my website and check out my character packs.
I actually was looking for more photogenic but I have favorite your site in case I need some illustrated industrial character packs. (Those look great, btw... great job not just having a white male is the only industrial option!!)
You were right.. I had a hard time finding photogenic industrial characters in free stock sites. I found eLearning Art had a decent amount of industrial photogenic characters for anyone finding this thread down the road and wishing I posted an update!
Thank you for your post. I too used eLearning Art but found many of the images to be blurry. Any suggestions as to how to get a sharper image out of them?
What I do is save the character with "full resolution" selected under the resolution drop down box. This seems to help. 95% of the characters have this option and are okay because of it. I've only found a handful of people in particular poses that were too blurry to use. A few of the Anita poses, if I remember correctly, were not usable but otherwise I've been okay.

Hi Stephania!
Unless Gloria has a suggestion, I'd advise following up with them directly.

Great! Thank you so much. I appreciate your prompt feedback!!!
