  • Publication number: 20180137660
    Abstract: Data regarding a base digital image and a request to generate one or more customized digital stickers for the base digital image can be received. In response to the received request, a customized digital sticker can be generated for the base digital image using results of analysis of the data regarding the base digital image, with the customized sticker including multiple visual features. The generating can include generating a customized digital sticker using a set of sticker generation rules, with the layout of multiple visual features of the digital sticker being dictated by the sticker generation rules, and with the generating of the sticker including combining the multiple visual features in the digital sticker. The digital sticker can be overlaid on the base digital image to produce a composite digital image.
