Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about our wall calendar design courses, community, and production process.
Do I need Adobe InDesign to follow the layout courses?
We teach with InDesign for pro features like master pages and preflight. You can adapt lessons to Affinity Publisher or Figma, but print‑specific exports are demonstrated in InDesign.
How long does it take to create a full wall calendar?
Most learners complete a 12‑month calendar in 4–6 weeks part‑time, including critiques and a vendor proof. Production lead time adds 7–14 days depending on finishes.
What printing budget should I plan for a small run?
A 100–250 copy run with quality paper and wire‑o binding typically costs $3–$7 per unit before packaging and shipping. We provide vendor comparison worksheets inside Production modules.
Can I sell calendars I make in the courses?
Yes. You own your projects. Ensure you hold rights to all imagery and fonts you use. Our Marketing track covers pricing, wholesale terms, and ethical sourcing.
Are the courses beginner‑friendly?
Absolutely. Start with “Calendar Foundations” and move to typography and layout modules. Advanced tracks dive into color management and complex finishes.
Do you provide templates?
Yes. Reusable grid templates, date architectures, and preflight profiles are included where relevant to accelerate your workflow.
Is there live feedback?
We host weekly critique threads and monthly live reviews. You can post exports for annotated feedback on contrast, spacing, and image rhythm.
What’s your refund policy?
If a course doesn’t match its description, contact us within 14 days of purchase. We’ll review your case and may offer a refund or course credit according to the Terms.
