Custom Hand Drawn Training Cartoons vs Stock Images or Photography

It isn't even a close call. Cartoons are by far the better choice to stock images or photography if you're serious about engaging your participants and making your message memorable. There are many reasons why but here are the top ten for choosing hand drawn cartoons over stock images or photographs in your learning program.

1. Topic-specific training cartoons engage the learner and really get them thinking.
2. Generic, stock photography that doesn’t address the training topic will likely confuse participants and worse, make for a long, boring, dry presentation!
3. Photos typically stereotype which could make your participants feel embarrassed or excluded.
4. Cartoons bring people together; everyone can identify with and appreciate cartoons.
5. Photos can be too harsh or cold.
6. Cartoons can help to diffuse uncomfortable topics without diminishing the message.
7. Photos are often too generic to use as a learning tool.
8. Cartoons help participants to remember important ideas.
9. Photos rarely can be educational and humorous.
10. Cartoons are fun; they make us laugh!

We've all seen the studies show that engaging, inclusive illustrations help drive home your message and will help participant's remember important details. Stock images and photography just can’t compete with custom, hand drawn training cartoons.
