By reading online, I sign the resources that I find interesting and useful. I share these links about once a month here on my blog. This article includes links related to scenario characters (both images and writing characters), career resources in educational design, accessibility icons and a commercial simulator built in string.
Scenario characters: images and writing
Miranda Verswijvelen shares advice to create and write credible characters in interactive stories for learning.
Do not confuse the features with the facts. The ages, the shoe sizes and the job titles do not make an interesting character. Are they impulsive or thoughtful, confident or suspect, affirmed or passive?
The elements of background frame and traits that really matter for history must be released slowly: through flashbacks, dialogue or actions. This progressive discovery maintains the learners intrigued and invested.

Expanding your language to describe images helps you better walk in IA image generation tools like Midjourney. (It is not a question of generation of images of the characters in itself, but it is useful to use AI tools to generate images of character.)
