Younger Characters

I am developing courses for a younger audience, and really need younger characters for this. I see it's been a feature request for years. Does anyone use an alternative source of images beyond Articulate? It seems a bit bizarre that this feature request seems to have been pushed back for so long.

 

 

 

  • The more specific one's request is for certain character traits, the more likely it is that filling the request will require licensing characters from a company that focuses on that service, buying images from a stock photo agency, or even paying for a custom photo shoot.

    Here are two sites that provide cut-out characters:
    •    https://elearningart.com/ 
    •    https://www.elblearning.com/create-learning/asset-library/cutout-people  

    Note: Cut-out characters from other sources are put into Storyline via Insert > Picture (not Insert > Character).

        These sites offer free cutout characters: Freepik, Vecteezy, Vectorstock, and paid subscriptions - see their terms for usage, license, legal.  Quite a few of the biggest stock sites do offer 'cheap' subscriptions. The added bonus with a subscription is that in general the company *always check their terms* takes legal responsibility for copyright violations etc., if your usage is within their terms.

  • Hi Viv!

    Thanks for sharing that you'd like to see younger characters in our Content Library! We just released new characters in December and are continuing to add others, so I will share your request with our team to let them know that you'd like to see young children included in the selection. I'll update you in this discussion when I have an update to share.

  • Agreed! I am developing courses for teenagers in high school and need to use their peers in scenarios. Please add me to the list of course developers with this immediate need. Thanks!
