FAQ

Will you be reprinting Splat Planner volume 1?
No, we will not be reprinting the previous planner nor any of the merch. This is a new project full of new artists and art!
Are the same artists doing volume 2?
Splat planner volume 2 will have a new roster of artists! Artists from the previous volume (or any of our past planner projects) are more than welcome to reapply, however it does not guarantee them a spot. All applicants will be judged on an even playing field.
How will this version differ from volume 1?
Volume 2 will be filled with completely new art! Just like last time, our planner will be undated but this time, we will not include the months inside the planner, meaning you will be able to start the planner during any time of the year.
How is the planner formatted?
Our planner will be hardcover, A5 size with rounded corners. There will be 185+ pages featuring illustrations, 60-week spreads, and 12 calendar grids. Check out our video from our most recent planner project for a more in-depth look.
Will the planner be digital or physical?
Just like our previous planner this will be a physical product. We do not plan to sell a digital version of our planner.
How many artists are you accepting?
We are looking for around 30-35 artists to join our project as page illustrators, spot illustrators, or merch artists.
What types of merch will there be?
This project will focus on stationery themed merchandise like stickers, notepads, washi tape, etc. The finalized merch list will be determined once interest check results come in.
How will contributors be compensated?
The funds for this project will initially be used to cover production costs and then to compensate contributors with a copy of the planner and merch. Any remaining funds will then be split between the contributors and mods via shares.
