Automated Production of Personalised Doodles

Abstract

. Doodles celebrate interesting events and anniversaries around the world by capturing one’s attention. Doodles reflect Google’s personality and love of innovation. Although doodles are simple scribbled piece of text, they mean more than that. Art and Animations have added real value to them. For instance, google portrays its logo in a creative fashion, with a new one every other day, by making use of these doodles. They are not only meant for creating an impact, but they also provide at the backdrop, a valuable piece of information to the customer who visits them. This information may comprise the current affairs, festive occasions or day-to-day important happenings around the world. Each doodle developed by Google goes through a series of procedures that involve deep thinking and designing activities. The timespan for producing each doodle is estimated to be a month. This paper suggests a procedure for automating the production of doodles using a novel approach. This approach uses scrapped web data relating to the particular dates and specialties about them (from sources like Wikipedia and Hindu API which have huge potential for information). Images pertaining to the gathered event related data are to be used as textures, which acts as a basic technique to overlay on the textual information or logo. Random selection of styles, designs and animations could add to the performance, by producing several variants of doodles. The linked information behind these doodles could add to the knowledge of the customers thereby increasing the productivity, clicks and visits to the site. This process aids to transform doodles from a generic version to a personalized version. A sync to the customer’s calendar dates allows for personalized promotions. For example, Amazon may optionally deliver gifts from one customer to another by texturing their logos with the sender’s photos. This may be overwhelming to both receiver and sender. Automation, therefore eases the procedures involved behind the pleasant doodles.
