Wall Art Hanging Template

Abstract

Dynamically generating a uniquely customized wall art hanging template to help a user hang one or more items of customized wall art as they appear in an electronic display based on the user's selections and product customizations. A user customizes an electronically generated layout of items of art resulting in curated layout of customized items that can be purchased and hung on a wall in accordance with a corresponding customized wall art template. To aid in the accurate hanging of items a uniquely generated wall art template includes customized outlines of each item of art together with customized marks that locate the proper positions for hanging each item to match the appearance of the curated layout in the electronic display. The customized outlines can include outlines of reference points in the room that help the user locate the proper positions for hanging each item to match the appearance of the curated layout in the electronic display.
