We're struggling a bit matching what we want with what's available.
Does anyone have or know where I could find a cubile background with computer, phone and paper and also a generic office background with desk, computer, phone, and hopefully a doorway?
Searched all over google. Would rather not have to draw from scratch (or hire a contractor to draw). Just a two-person team here.
Thanks again, David. Bryan has some good stuff that we can probably use in the future. For our current program we're looking for drawn offices that would more match the drawn characters that come with Storyline.
Can you further describe "drawn"? Are you thinking a simple ink outline, or something more textured? If you could post a screen shot of your current theme, we might be able to help you match it up.
Drawn probably isn't the right word. Something like this: (borrowed from the internets)Realistic, but not real but fits better with the stock animation charaters with Storyline than turning a picture into an illustration. This type of illustration also lets us easily create hotspots and drag and drop scenerios.

i've looked also and am in the same boat as you...
Have you checked out Bryan Jones' selection at Elearning Art? He has quite a good collection of office-themed backgrounds.
Gee, thanks, David, another thing to consider subscribing to . . .
Seriously, haven't been there in a while. Nice set of increased offerings.

Or you can always use various tools to make a photo look like something drawn.
And a quick example.
Before: real photo.
After, using one tool (the Bitmap Tracer in Xara Designer Pro X):

Kevin,
were you able to find any resources? I'm looking for exactly the same graphic.

Per the earlier recommendation, Bryan Jones' selection at Elearning Art is great for this. I finally subscribed recently and am glad I did.
Bryan's office images (and all others) are great - here are a couple of the "hand drawn" ones, (my added watermarks...)
