How to make a planner + FIRST SKETCHES ~ Frannerd

[@ashmitanandy]

One day, when I'm not a broke fresh college graduate anymore, I'll buy all your products AND buy you a lot of cakes and it STILL won't be enough for thanking you for all you've been teaching me through these simple KZbin videos. I'm honestly *so* grateful you have no idea! Thank you!

[@walayssaart]

oh, Fran. I'm just so glad you exist

[@NicollesDreamsShop]

Loved seeing these behind the scenes :) So cool!

[@MinaFem]

Today I totally failed, I had to cancel a workshop which I had been preparing for the last weeks. I was so excited that I could not sleep and I am still a bit sick, so two hours before the alarm went off I gave up. I am so disappointed in myself, I am just gonna curl up the whole weekend in bed and cry. Seeing you Fran and your success with your hard work makes me feel a little bit better. Thank you.

[@mcmosaic]

I love those snippets of your daily life. They are so real/realistic and you put so much effort and thoughts into your work. The whole process is very interesting.

[@anasousa3264]

When I was a teen (15) I wanted to do my own planner because I thought the ones we had in Portugal were boring. In the middle of the process, I just give up because it was taking so long... I still have the collages of inspiration and the quotes I had that inspire me at the time. I really enjoy watching your process and I wish back then I could have someone like you to inspire me :)

[@furrylittlepeach]

I FREAKING LOVE SEEING BTS STUFF FROM ILLUSTRATIVE PROJECTS !!!

[@MrsNoji]

I'm so happy! I was just thinking 'I want to listen to Fran, that would calm me down' and you uploaded ♥ 19 Minutes yay

[@PrincessSavvyWrites]

My planner arrived last week and I absolutely love it! I run a small writing camp for kids and am just getting into the rush of planning for next year, so this planner is going to help me a lot. The colours are beautiful, I love the collection of stickers that came with it, and the bag is really well made and a good size for using as a general book bag. Definitely hope these planners stick around for years to come!

[@francescascarpa7806]

I didn't buy the planner yet, but I just wanted to say that I really think you did a really amazing job! I follow your work since your first videos, and it's so nice to see how much you have grown as an artist, and this planner is absolutely the proof!

[@gintarekavaliauskaite4614]

Thank you, Fran, for being such an inspiration for all the people over the world! You reminded me, how important is to do what you really really love. Keep doing it girl! All the love from Lithuania

[@MissBellaHolmes]

Congratulations to this success! Now, sadly I can't get a planner but from what I saw the planner seems absolutely adorable with a lovely interior. I really like the little bag you included, not only is it cute to look at, it is also a fun packaging idea. It is also lovely that you recorded some of the process and talked about it in this video. It is interesting for others to see how these things can be done and it is so incredible when you see how long something is in the work. Good job on the planner and much luck to all your coming projects!

[@megancooper6855]

It has been my dream to create a planner for a long time, and recently I started a planner related Etsy shop. Watching you unbox your planner made me tear up. It was so beautiful and life affirming to watch your face as you flipped through it the first time. I want that. I am SO SO proud of you for pushing yourself to manifest your dreams. I know it’s kind of cheesy to say so, but you’re an inspiration.

[@dianehigham2148]

You could never look a mess Fran. You are a natural beauty inside and out 😽 xxx

[@mrcdsmrtnz]

This makes me want to cry! I am so happy for you. I love your work and you seem like such an amazing person from what we get to see in your videos. You inspire me so much and I hope one day I can do art for a living as well. It seems like such a fun and rewarding process. I am currently waiting for my planner to arrive and I am so excited. You are wonderful!! I'm glad everything went well and came out how you wanted.

[@nicbrown265]

Thanks for making this video. I am in the process of doing the same thing at the moment and I can relate to everything that you said. I can’t wait till the day when I have a pile of boxes arrive at my house like in your video.

[@gaelleherault3261]

Hello , I just wanted to tell you a big thanks to share your work and how your work. I am only an architect student but we are working at the same way. We have to print all the time to see if our drawing are ok with the good lines ... . I love your job and you are so natural and cute. Well done for this big project! It is amazing planner.

[@kaiitsang]

I love this channel Fran, you show the struggles and also the successes of working as a freelancer in such a real manner. I absolutely love the outcome of your planner!

[@Musikchic47]

I love how you overlay different clips while you are narrating, it's always fun to see what's going on behind the scenes :)

[@l0wkey321]

MADE MY CRY WHEN I SAW YOU UNBOXING YOUR PLANNERS

[@proyc95]

Ahh love your determination Fran. You should be proud of your baby and for coming out of your comfort zone in the process of making them :) So happy for you

[@JojoboxVlogs]

Hey - can I ask what printing company you used to print the planners? They look great!

[@clairestilwill5284]

I doubt she will ever answer but I would also like to know lol

[@AleliMANJAR]

Hermosura, compré el planner en Chile y quedé con la sensación que debí esperar y haberlo encargado en tu tienda, porque no tiene todos esos detalles preciosos que tú pensaste para que fuera perfecto (elásticos de color específico, el compartimento secreto, los stickers mensuales). Pero eso no impide que lo adore y crea que es maravilloso. Pero me quedó como experiencia personal para el próximo años. Besos y abrazos apretados 💖💖🌟🌟

[@theslimshadycom]

Opino exactamente lo mismo

[@geum42]

donde lo compraron??!

[@AleliMANJAR]

geum42 en concepción: Arte nostro

[@theslimshadycom]

[@KagamineMitsu]

es que igual pagar 14 lucas menos es un plus... ahora vi que en Vasalisa esta a 10 lucas y no a 26 como en la tiendita de la Fran... ahora a juntar plata para comprarla

[@lenicelacourdia]

Thank you for showing your behind the scenes. It let's a buyer know the hardwork it takes to produce one product.

[@hayleykwan09]

Fran, my planner arrived yesterday. I LOVE it!!! Seeing the behind the scenes makes it even more special. One option that I'd love to have is to have a design that includes the daily dates in the weekly pages. It does take time to write the dates in and I've needed to do the entire year's dates at once because my job needs me to have dates set way in advance. Hope that makes sense. I love the planner and will buy it again when you do your next! Thanks Fran- appreciate all of the heart and work that you put into this product.

[@AlaiBlink]

IMO, as a bullet journal lover, I would recommend you to consider dotted pages, since they work best for writing, listing or doodling. a MUST for every planner. aandd If i didnt do my own bujo, I would definitely buy your planner. I looks amazing. You are such an inspiration in everything. Love you

[@RayenFaundez]

Todo el trabajo que hiciste, Fran, es de gran calidad. No sólo a nivel de diseño e impresión, de materiales... que es lo primero que salta a la vista, sino en los detalles por los que apostaste y de los que te hiciste cargo: usar líneas y espacios en blanco, dejar las fechas libres, integrar otros recursos adicionales como tarjetas y stikers, y hacer un planner amigable, que todos/as puedan utilizar cuando deseen, que permita libertad y no sólo hacer uso de él como una simple agenda, sino como un acompañante en cada tarea. A mi me encanta...es un tremendo trabajo. Sería maravilloso que pudieras crear algo que incluyera horas, por ejemplo, para quienes tenemos más de un trabajo y muchas reuniones, entrevistas y citas... y crear un diseño black & white. Esto último es un intento neto por imponer mis gustos personales y mi obsesión por lo minimalista... ya que soy de aquellas que marca páginas y usa destacadores y diferentes colores de lápices por todos lados para diferenciar cada cosa... Es un post muy largo no??? Ojala lo leas. Ojala todo lo que todos decimos aquí te hinche el corazón. Saludos!

[@arcytwor]

Fran, You are such an inspiration. I'm spliting Your videos into the parts and watching it when I have time to relax because I don't wanna miss a second :D

[@kristinaschmidt3471]

Hej Fran, this planner has been so much work for you. But in the end it was totally worth it! It looks amazing and it has so many little details wich are so lovely! You did a very good job and you must be so proud of yourself! 😊👍

[@IlseAngulo]

Fran eres increíble, como seguidora me siento muy orgullosa de ti, trabajaste (y aún lo haces) muy duro para lograr tu meta y el resultado es maravilloso. Felicidades por cumplir este proyecto, uno más a la lista 🎉👍😘

[@lanafaith3277]

[@MayelizCarolinaFranc]

Fran GRACIAS por existir.

[@TheClaritee]

It was so enjoyable watching the process of how you made the planner. I just discovered your channel a few weeks ago and I am already attached to you. HAHA! I feel so proud of you after watching this! Congrats on completing the planner. :)

[@anacuri0sa]

Fran, this video is amazing! I really loved seeing how you made it :) I will soon receive my planner, I can't wait !!! Everything you do is amazing

[@PatyLavir]

Congrats Fran. I always watch your videos but I never comment here. I´m happy for you. I make handmade notebook and love these stationary stuff. And I´m grateful about the spanish subtitles because I´m learning Spanish... By the way, I´m from Brasil. Hugs from Brasil to this wonderful couple, haha

[@SuperNintendo64]

watching these videos is making me so excited for my package to arrive! I loved the look of it so much, I bought three! I will give them out as christmas gifts :)

[@EmmaJadeWalter]

This video is great. Informative and honest and inspiring. You're fantastic Fran.

[@elizasommers7590]

Fran I didn't buy it yet, but from what I see in this video your planner is amazing! I've never seen a planner better organised like yours in shops! :)

[@vanessakaliwo1317]

I really enjoyed seeing the process behind the scenes of creating the planner!! Thank you so much for sharing!

[@lilirit21]

Thank you for sharing all of this ! It's so cool how you did your planner, you did an incredible job (can't wait to use it next year :D)!!

[@_bigail]

how can anyone dislike any of your videos??? i will never understand 😪 congrats on your success fran!! 🙆🏻‍♀️

[@novitaelisaillustration]

Hi fran, this is absolutely georgous video and your palnner are awesome! This encourage me to plan and making a planner too, it has been my dream also but i never start to do it. I am from Indonesia, it's hard and long process to order from etsy, i have been opening etsy before but the shipping cost usually more and more expensive than the good's prices. I hope someday I can support you on patreon because you inspired me so much! 💖💖💖💖 Thank you fran

[@hoopofspiders6183]

Thanks for this video showing what all went into making this. It's really cool to see the process. Thanks for being open for feedback too. I was wondering while watching the video if you were thinking you'd make another planner, so that's cool you're thinking about it and are wondering what people would like to see changed. I got one, and I think it's lovely, first of all. I was pleasantly surprised to see how many different illustrations there are on it, and I could tell you put a lot of effort into this. It's really cool you didn't make one cute drawing and stick the same one on every page, which would have been much easier to do, but this makes each page feel special, and it will be much more fun to use for a whole year seeing the different illustrations. Thank you for that. I like the band that will help keep it closed and the pocket in the back. The stickers are great, and I like that they are included. I like the 2018/2019 year calendar in the front for quick reference. I like the months in the front with the weeks behind. The general layout is helpful. In the back, I could use more "notes" pages. I'm list oriented and am switching from a bullet journal system to this planner, so I know I will make use of those quickly. For some reason, only one of mine is perforated, those would be helpful to all be perforated, so if I wanted to tear one out and clip it to a page in another place in the planner I could easily do that. My main question, and anyone feel free to answer this if you have ideas, please, I want to make the most use of this whole planner as I can, after the "notes" pages, there are two pages of a week spread Mon-Sun, and I'm not sure what to use those for? There are only two of them, so I'm not sure what is the purpose of them? I'm sure, Fran, you had something in mind. Like I said, I'm switching from a bullet journal, so it could be something really obvious that I'm not understanding. So if anyone has ideas, I'd love to be able to make use of them. Before I forget, I love that it's undated, so someone can start using it at any time and not have to wait or skip months when they start it. Personally, I'm not sure I will use the movie night, picnic, coffee date, do nothing, or travel list pages. They are really super cute, and a very nice idea, and maybe plenty of people will love them. So this may be just me. I may end up using them, I don't know. Like I said, I could just use more "notes" pages. I like the "important dates" page, year bookmarks, New Year's Resolutions. I think those could go at the beginning of the planner. When I start using mine (I think I'll start in Jan), I plan to start with filling in dates I already know I have something to do, and I want to fill out goals for the year and stuff like that, so I think all these pages will be super helpful, and having them at the front to reference often may be nice. I don't think it's a problem they're at the back though, just an idea. Overall, I love it, I think it is so nice, and I'm happy you decided to make this yourself, rather than collaborating with a company which maybe would have limited what you would have been able to do and the choices you made and stuff. I think it turned out so nice. I would recommend this to anyone who is a fan of your art for sure, it's a joy to look at it and very practical as well. I appreciate all of the effort you put into making this, it shows, I knew that before watching this video. I hope it sells well and that other people like it too so if you're wanting to make another one, I hope that will be possible.

[@ethiea_]

I've been dreaming of making my own planner but printing is always an issue. I'm so proud and happy for you!

[@moonishoou]

Congratulations on finalising the project. When it comes to gathering feedback. Have you thought of sending a google form or sth like that with a survey? You could ask about opinion on specific elements of the planner.

[@linzertube]

This was a really nice look at your planner planning process. Heehee! It’s lovely!😃👍💗

[@Montsysa]

Mi querida Fran, llevo años esperando a que lanzaras esto. Tengo un trauma por las agendas impresionante y sigo tu trabajo desde el 2009 o algo así... Por desgracia con el envío a México me sale muy caro, estoy juntando el dinero para poder comprar este sueño sólo espero que para cuando lo tenga aún haya agendas en existencia. Es hermosa igual que tú y tu trabajo, muchas felicidades por este logro más.

[@dulcesanchez3473]

Pudiste haber pensado "que ellos se las arreglen con la longitud de los meses", o "que encuentren bolígrafos de colores para poder escribir en este tono", pero el hecho de que consideraras todos esos detallitos y los modificaras las veces que fuera necesario hace que merezcas todo lo mejor ❤👐 y espero poder comprar estas cositas pronto 😭 aunque tenga que abandonar la agenda que estoy usando porque nada se compara 💕

[@noorai.6766]

The planner is so cute! I was so happy when it arrived! I'm going to start using it in January. I'll give proper feedback how it feels in everyday use then. :)

[@hoopofspiders6183]

True, I think I'll have a better idea once I'm using it too.

[@Robin-in6gx]

It's an huge work but the result is soo cool ! I love to see the way you organize the project . Thanks ! ❤

[@marisadaniela6]

Eeeeeeet! The planner is soooooooo beautiful and cuuute! I love to see your decision making process. I am horribly indecisive and it keeps me sometimes from finishing my projects, so I really enjoy seeing a behind the scenes of other people making decisions hahaha 😄

[@brightlpscam8093]

Se ve que te esforzaste demasiado haciendo ese planificador, me gustaría que hicieras un vídeo de preguntas y respuestas, plis!!!

How I just founf you on Instagram and I was seeing if u had KZbin. Omg 💖💖🌟✨💖💖I love your art style the colors and the comments you put on,your work makes me so happy and warm inside.😄 I hope,this its weird but, you remind me of my little sister. I'm not living at home,anymore we are both in,different states. 🌃✈✈✈✈✈✈🌄🗻 I can't wait to get one of your planners.😃😍

[@Audreysseh]

Hi Fran, I love your planner, I set it all from next week, I can't wait to use it for EVERYTHING as it's quite big :p It's amazing to see the process, the differents steps you tried. It's really inspiring. As far as for suggestion, I notice I usually use a vertical hourly graduation for each day, and draw a line to visualize/count how many hours I've worked (for freelancing or regular job - gotta track the real productivity !). It often comes with lines to write on, but maybe some light graduations with hours (ie. 7am to 9pm) can be on the vertical line between the days? Just throwing the thought ^^ I'm also used to half the size, but it sure still fits my lifestyle :)

[@hoopofspiders6183]

I work night shift, so anything with hours on it is irrelevant to me. I know I may be the odd one out on this. I just will be using those areas to list to do lists for each day, along with appointments and those sorts of things. So for me having it blank is best, since some days I may have a lot of things I have to cram in and other days I may have less.

[@rnvrz]

thank you for sharing your creative process, Fran ❤️

[@maud3721]

I really love each of your videos. You really inspire me, thank you

[@Mlle.Lamarin]

Loooove seeing the behind the scene videos !! This planner looks so cool, I would loooove to have it in my hands, like RIGHT NOW hahaa. Also, Thank you Fran, for all your videos, I've been following you ( like.. on the internet. But not in a sneaky nosy way, you know just.. Following.. Wait.. Am I weird ? Hahaaa ) for years ( even more weird saying this now haha ) and watching your videos so many times. They've really helped me in my career and in the choices I made recently ( I am now officially an illustrator yaaaay Still a looooong way to go haha ) and everytime I took a new step in the process of being an illustrator, like FOR REAL, I was joking with my boyfriend saying things like " when I grow up, I wanna be Fran. " hahahaa. But seriously tho, watching your videos, really helped me in imagining myself as an illustrator. Because I always knew, deep down, that I wanted to live like this, with drawings everywhere and creation etc, but was like " yeah, just a dream, you know, in a wonderful life, you'd be an illustrator but. Well you're not gonna do that. " And eventually .. well tadaaaaaa here I am ! Hahaaa SO ANYWAY, being way too talkative, just wanted to thank you. Hahaaaa. Love.

[@sinemciftdesign9772]

Hi Fran! you have been a great inspiration for me, for a very long time. both in the freelance aspect of your life, but also your work an creative look as an artist. And I was wondering if you are planning to reprint/recreate a new planner for the upcoming year 2019-2020?
