Rather than having users design a logo, the idea was to design a logo for the user by asking a series of questions. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5c6c1e03e666694eb6f014e5/t/5c72fa274785d303f1ca6e6a/1551039019592/Staples_Thumb2.png Hello https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5c6c1e03e666694eb6f014e5/t/5c76f4991905f4d17e86275a/1551298665546/ Hello https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5c6c1e03e666694eb6f014e5/t/5c76fc2e971a1826d356df1d/1551301561195/ Hello - Makr I founded Makr in 2013 with the goal of democratizing design. Makr provided easy-to-use tools that enabled people with no design experience to design and print a variety of products. I was the CEO and Creative Director for Makr, and for much of it’s lifespan I was the principal product designer. Makr was acquired by Staples in 2015, at which point the team pivoted to focus mostly on logos and integration points with Staples’ business. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5c6c1e03e666694eb6f014e5/t/5c7818f70852290f392271de/1551374586562/CraftStudio_iPad_05_EJ.jpg Hello https://www.ellenjohnston.com/press daily 0.75 2019-02-27 https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5c6c1e03e666694eb6f014e5/t/5c76f8674192023c9517cd95/1551299902437/ Press - WWDC https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5c6c1e03e666694eb6f014e5/5c76f511ee6eb0102d9b565f/5c76f5308165f564dd1e0241/1551299902437/WWDC.png Press - WWDC https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5c6c1e03e666694eb6f014e5/5c76f511ee6eb0102d9b565f/5c76f83924a6944c4fa8f992/1551300701045/AppoftheDay.png Press - App of The Day https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5c6c1e03e666694eb6f014e5/5c76f511ee6eb0102d9b565f/5c76f57ff4e1fc3b61927968/1551299989494/MarthaStewartWeddings.PNG Press - Martha Stewart Weddings https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5c6c1e03e666694eb6f014e5/5c76f511ee6eb0102d9b565f/5c76f5c3104c7bcd4c347758/1551300046596/iPad_Makr_1.jpg Press - Everything Changes with iPad Campaign https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5c6c1e03e666694eb6f014e5/5c76f511ee6eb0102d9b565f/5c76f5494192023c9517a023/1551299936147/Makr_EditorsChoice.PNG Press - Apple Editors' Choice https://www.ellenjohnston.com/about daily 0.75 2019-02-28 https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5c6c1e03e666694eb6f014e5/t/5c72f8b04192025761125d05/1551038661488/IMG_7941.JPG About
