Creating data-driven fabric designs // Part 1: Scraping & data preparation with NodeJS

The scraping is done using NodeJS with the node-fetch and cheerio libraries. Once all the images and accompanying data are gathered we further process the images by cropping them slightly (10 pixels each way). To this end I demonstrate using ImageMagick's 'chop' command.
