Sourcing Quality Clipart

In my quest to be as efficient as possible when making a Storyline training, I'm finding that I will get stuck on sourcing quality clipart.

  • Storylines included "illustrations" leave a lot to be desired and look quite dated.
  • Using the AI image generator sometimes can be bring up what I need, but often times that requires spending a good amount of time getting the prompt just right
  • Our work has access to Adobe Stock, wherein you can download vector .ai files that include numerous images. This helps with uniformity but are too basic

When I use another program like Powtoons, Vyond, or Canva, you can do a clipart image search and find varying images that are somewhat of a similar style. This makes producing work efficient. I just can't seem to find that same "stride" when working in Storyline, and wondered what others do?

    They say "necessity is the mother of all invention". After focusing on this for the last 2 hours, I played around with the Storyline in-house image generator and found a prompt that closely resembles the style of images one can find on Canva. Sharing if it's helpful:

    A clean, modern vector illustration of a single object. Flat yet softly shaded vector style, crisp edges, smooth curves, subtle gradients, minimal texture. No heavy outlines (or very thin outlines only). Full color palate. Isolated on a white or transparent background. High clarity, instructional/enterprise illustration style suitable for presentations, e-learning, and UI graphics.
