Storyline templates/backgrounds

Nov 30, 2023

Curious how people usually create / acquire their Storyline backgrounds.  Do you create from scratch, have your graphics department assist, or?

Looking for ideas.  Thanks!

Outside of generic stock content, I'd say that the backgrounds are usually contextual to the content. 

From what I see, most backgrounds are what I'd say are contextually decorative. For example, business courses, may have an office type background. Or medical course, some sort of waiting room.

Those are easy enough to find in content library. If you need something that is contextually accurate, then you probably need to build it or have someone build it for you.

I like to look to games and apps for inspiration on designs, layouts, and color schemes. For example, if I was building a medically themed course, I'd look at how web template sites create their look. Or I'd go to a creative design site like dribbble and see how real graphic designers approach those contexts.
