Abstract
Stylistically relevant cover images for media items are generated based on metadata for the media items. The cover images are placeholders that visually represent the media items until original cover images (if any) are found. In one implementation, the cover images incorporate design elements like font, background art, color schemes, and layout that are chosen from a collection of such elements based on the metadata. The cover images are therefore unique and stylistically relevant to corresponding media items.
