Build a Banner: Automate the tedious part of building a banner

My business partner at JMX2, Jon Magner, and I have made thousands of animated banner ads. The tool we've used to create these animations is a homegrown project called Build a Banner. 

This Yeoman workflow generates a starter project to kickstart your animation project. It asks for the project name, banner size, and ad platform and creates a local server so you can start building your banner. Build a Banner also packages the banners to be delivered to ad traffickers. 

As with many of my projects, I publish them for others to use. You can find Build a Banner on NPM, or if you like to run your tools in isolated containers, head over to Docker Hub to download the project.
