Personalised Images
Hi All,
I am just looking for some feed back on personalisation in images which can be seen every now and then. For example email receivers surnames printed on the back of football shirts in email.
Has anyone got any good examples of this, or an idea of how this works? I'd love to reproduce this for clients if possible.
You can do this by adding a parameter on the end of a img src when that request hits the server it will dynamically generate the text onto the image.
This code should get you started. Have a play around with the tool on the top and you can get something like this;
You can look into using ID's rather than text so people can't reproduce it with rude words making your brand look bad.
You can also pre-run this and save the outputted images and just link to them normally to save on load time.
Hopefully that will help get you started.
Hi Mark,
Really good starting point but the looks of things.
thanks for this!
If this were given to me as a build I would probably look to create an image of a t-shirt that had a pretty flat colour where the text would sit and then slice the image in such a way that it left text space. I'd then just have my platform (ET) pull in the last name attribute into place. Obviously this would become quite tricky when making it responsive, and it would also limit you on the image you'd use and where it would be positioned... Personally I like Mark Robbins reply better... ;-p
