Abstract: The present invention is specifically related to the application of photographic imagery onto pieces of confetti and more generally to a technology and process which affords the creation of customized products using digital media and the interactive creation of manufacturing specifications. The invention presents a method for mediating a non-interactive process for the transfer of queued customizing content and specifications to the remote manufacturing server concurrent with the interactive selection of content and derivation of manufacturing specifications. The method of mediation maximizes bandwidth utilization while minimizing interactive transfer latencies. The invention also teaches methods by which the full range of image manipulation processes required to specify and preview the product are accomplished via client side routines and locally stored source material such that remote server intervention and network latencies need not be incurred to facilitate the user specification of the product.
