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?
