Abstract
Systems and methods are provided herein for personalizing images that correspond to a media asset identifier by using user profile information. As an example, the television series 'Community' has several actors, such as Joel McHale, Chevy Chase, and Ken Jeong. Poster art developed by an editor of 'Community' may include an image that portrays each of Joel McHale, Chevy Chase, and Ken Jeong. In order to personalize the image, control circuitry may determine which actor(s) the user prefers, and crop out only those actors in the poster art to create a personalized image. As an example, if the user prefers Joel McHale, control circuitry may crop out the portrayal of Joel McHale and use only that portion of the image to display next to other text describing “Community.”
