Abstract

A graphical user interface includes a primary color palette including a first plurality of colors and a secondary color palette including a second plurality of colors. A first color is defined as a primary color and a second color is defined as a secondary color. The secondary color is different from the primary color. The graphical user interface also includes a plurality of styles, with a style defined as an initial style. The graphical user interface further includes an intensity scale ranging from a minimum intensity value to a maximum intensity value. An indicator is positioned in association with an initial intensity value. Moreover, the graphical user interface includes a display tile including an initial pattern that is displayed based on the primary color, the secondary color, and the initial style and a subsequent pattern that is modified from the initial pattern based on the initial intensity value.

Claims

1. A graphical user interface comprising:

a primary color palette including a first plurality of colors, wherein a first color is defined as a primary color;

a secondary color palette including a second plurality of colors, wherein a second color is defined as a secondary color, the secondary color being different from the primary color;

a plurality of styles, wherein a style of the plurality of styles is defined as an initial style;

an intensity scale ranging from a minimum intensity value to a maximum intensity value, wherein an indicator is positioned in association with an initial intensity value; and

a display tile including;

an initial pattern that is displayed based on the primary color, the secondary color, and the initial style; and

a subsequent pattern that is modified from the initial pattern based on the initial intensity value.

2. The graphical user interface of claim 1 wherein the secondary color is based on the primary color.

3. The graphical user interface of claim 1 wherein the second plurality of colors is the same as the first plurality of colors.

4. The graphical user interface of claim 1 wherein the plurality of styles comprise at least one of stripes, swirls, circles, dots, or waves.

5. The graphical user interface of claim 4 wherein the initial pattern is characterized by a first color that is a derivative of the primary color, a second color that is a derivative of the secondary color, and a dimension.

6. The graphical user interface of claim 5 wherein the subsequent pattern is characterized by a color set varied from the first color and the second color based on an intensity value of the intensity scale.

7. The graphical user interface of claim 5 wherein the derivative of the primary color and the derivative of the secondary color are functions of the initial intensity value.

8. The graphical user interface of claim 1 further comprising a plurality of alternative tiles adjacent the display tile including the subsequent pattern.

9. The graphical user interface of claim 8 wherein each of the alternative tiles display alternative patterns is modified from the subsequent pattern based on an intensity value of the intensity scale.

10. The graphical user interface of claim 1 wherein the subsequent pattern is characterized by a style having a modified dimension in comparison with the initial style.

11. The graphical user interface of claim 1 further comprising receiving a user input to set an updated intensity value of the intensity scale.

12. The graphical user interface of claim 11 further comprising modifying the subsequent pattern to form an updated pattern based on the updated intensity value.

13. A system configured to generate a customized image for personalization of an electronic device, the system comprising:

a design modification element;

a display tile including a first image characterized by a first color, a second color, and a spatial pattern based on the design modification element; and

a user input module configured to receive a user input related to the design modification element, wherein the display tile is updated to include a second image characterized by a third color based on at least one of the design modification element or the user input.

14. The system of claim 13 wherein the second image is further characterized by a second spatial pattern based on at least one of the design modification element or the user input.

15. The system of claim 14 wherein the second spatial pattern comprises a change in a width of a portion of the spatial pattern.

16. The system of claim 13 wherein the first color is determined based on a primary color and the design modification element.

17. The system of claim 13 wherein the second color is determined based on the primary color and the design modification element.

18. The system of claim 13 wherein the second color is determined based on a secondary color and the design modification element.

19. The system of claim 18 wherein the secondary color is based on the primary color and the design modification element.

20. The system of claim 13 further comprising:

a set of color palettes including a primary color palette and a secondary color palette; and

a set of styles.

21. The system of claim 13 further comprising a plurality of alternative tiles configured to display variations on the second image.

22. The system of claim 13 further comprising an export module configured to transmit an image of the set of images to a printing facility.

23. The system of claim 22 further comprising a printer configured to receive the electronic device and permanently affix the second image to the electronic device.
