Custom recommendations application for creating cards

A non transitory computer readable medium including instructions executable by an electronic processor for creating a customized greeting card, comprising instructions for:

• a processor to receive an electronic photo having a face image of a person and a background image that extends beyond the face image, wherein the face image comprises a subset of the electronic photo and is less than the whole electronic photo, and wherein the background image does not comprise any portion of the face image,
• the processor to compare the face image and the background image of the whole electronic photo with a plurality of greeting card templates each having a corresponding design element;
• for each greeting card template of the plurality of greeting card templates, the processor to:
• determine, in a first step, whether a low granularity element intersects the face image, the low granularity element encompassing and extending beyond the corresponding design element of the greeting card template;
• when it is determined in the first step that the low granularity element does not intersect the face image, accept the greeting card template;
• in response to the determination in the first step that the low granularity element intersects the face image, determine, in a second step, whether the face image intersects with child rectangles nested within the low granularity element, the child rectangles representing the corresponding design element of the greeting card template;
• when it is determined in the second step that the nested child rectangles intersect the face image, reject the greeting card template;
• and
• when it is determined in the second step that the nested child rectangles do not intersect the face image, accept the greeting card template;
• based on the first and second steps, the processor to reject one or more of the plurality of greeting card templates, each of the one or more rejected greeting card templates having the corresponding design element that overlaps the face image, and to accept two or more of the plurality of greeting card templates, each of the two or more accepted greeting card templates having the corresponding design element that does not overlap the face image;
• and
• the processor to display the two or more accepted greeting card templates, each of the two or more accepted greeting card templates including the whole electronic photo including the face image and the background image in a photo slot, wherein the displaying of the two or more accepted greeting card templates is performed without displaying the one or more rejected greeting card templates.
