Resources for Graphics to Enhance Your Instructional Design Efforts

Well-designed instruction is quite reliant on well-designed visual representation (in our humble opinion). Given that premise, here are some excellent resources for you to check out:

123rd.com - royalty free photos and music/sound effects. You must pay, but very affordable. (This is our preferred site).

Morguefile.com - completely free photos. Lots of great nature scenes; not business oriented but great for backgrounds or accents.

Pixabay.com - photos, illustrations and vector graphics. You are able to browse by category such as Business or Industry. Completely free.

eLearningArt.com - is very unique for two reasons: 1 - you can download  "character packs" which are anywhere from 50 - 75 photos of one individual in many poses. Super helpful when you want a consistent character in your learning, and 2 - "cut out people" which provides thousands of photos of just people - no backgrounds.
