Photo versus illustrated characters
Hi everyone,
I have a question for everyone about their experience using photo or illustrated characters and graphics. My organization is at a bit of a crossroads right now where we're not sure wh...
Thank you so much, Daniel. I have seen Freepik's offerings before and have presented them to the team recently as a great potential source for future graphics. My weak point is that I don't have a lot of experience with Illustrator, even though I do have the program.
I was trying to import character sets into the software earlier (same file type as is in your screenshot) but when I went to export them I found that they were too blurry to use when imported to Storyline. Where and how did you learn how to use Illustrator for this purpose? Would you happen to have a tutorial that you'd recommend to get started? Thanks!
Hmm...may I ask what file type you are choosing when exporting? Now that SL supports SVGs, I would highly recommend exporting content in the SVG file format to avoid blurry graphics (graphics will likely appear blurry when dropped into SL, but it looks a lot better after publishing). As far as Illustrator tutorials go, YouTube channels like Satori Graphics and tutvid have been extremely helpful. For an in-depth look into Illustrator's Recolor Artwork tool, you might try watching this.
Update: Just came across this slightly newer video that walks through the tool at a much nicer pace 🙂
Hi Daniel, I was choosing SVG file. I have done some more tinkering today and think I have found the issue. I have since been able to export higher quality SVG files. I really appreciate your sending those tutorials on, as they were quite helpful. I'm so glad this community exists.
