System and method for creating and printing a creative expression

A system for generating an expression definition file from which a creative expression may be printed, comprising:

• a processing server having a processor electrically coupled to a local interface and a memory electrically coupled to the local interface, the processing server being configured to communicate with an affiliate server via a communications network;
• and
• operating logic stored on the memory and executable by the processor, the operating logic comprising:
• logic to receive a logical creative expression defining the creative expression from the affiliate server, the logical creative expression having at least one content element and a template type;
• logic to identify a template stored in the memory associated with the template type, the template specifying at least one page with at least one region;
• logic to associate the at least one content element with the at least one region;
• and
• logic to generate the expression definition file embodying the creative expression, the expression definition file specifying the at least one page with the at least one region for printing.

A system for generating an expression definition file from which a creative expression may be printed, comprising:

• means within a processing device for receiving a logical creative expression defining the creative expression from an affiliate device, the logical creative expression having at least one content element and a template type;
• means for identifying a template stored in the memory associated with the template type, the template specifying at least one page with at least one region;
• means for associating the at least one content element with the at least one region;
• and
• means for generating the expression definition file embodying the creative expression, the expression definition file specifying the at least one page with the at least one region for printing.

A method for generating an expression definition file from which a creative expression may be printed, comprising the steps of:

• generating a logical creative expression in a processing server based upon a selection input received from a client device via a communications network, the logical creative expression having a template type and at least one content element;
• identifying a template associated with the template type, the template specifying at least one page with at least one region;
• associating the at least one content element with the at least one region;
• and
• generating the expression definition file embodying the creative expression, the expression definition file specifying the at least one page with the at least one region for printing.
