Abstract
A method for generating a cover photo for presenting on a profile page includes receiving a request from a user to generate a cover photo for presenting on a profile page of the user account. A user interface identifying a plurality of slots for inserting the pictures/assets selected by the user, is presented at the profile page in response to the request. User selection of pictures/assets for placement in the plurality of slots at the user interface, is received. The pictures/assets are examined for assembling the selected picture/asset into a mosaic. The examination determines open slots that are available for inserting the pictures/assets and a sequence of insertion of the pictures/assets into each of the open slots in the user interface. A unified cover photo is generated by stitching together the one or more pictures/assets selected by the user based on sequence of insertion obtained through examination.
