THE GRAPHIC DESIGNERS’ PLAYBOOK
A place for the plans.
And the person
making them.
The client notes. The deadlines. The business questions you wish someone had covered at design school.
Your printed Playbook brings them together, with practical guidance from Nelett and a digital Companion to help you put it into practice.
Printed planner · Undated pages · Digital Companion included
FOR THE ONES WHO STILL REACH FOR A PEN
You can love your work
and need a little help running it.
There’s the design. Then there’s the quote, the follow-up, the feedback and the ten things you’re trying not to forget. The Playbook gives those things a place, so you can stop carrying quite so much in your head.
WHAT’S INSIDE THE BOOK
Your week.
Your projects.
Your way of working.
The business side of design
Briefs, pricing, client communication and getting work out the door. Experience you can turn to when you’re wondering what comes next.
Undated weekly planning
Start when you’re ready. Keep the deadlines, tasks and everyday life together, without waiting for January.
Guided design notes
Client details, questions, ideas and the next step. A place to keep the thinking that usually ends up on three different scraps of paper.

FROM NELETT, WITH EXPERIENCE
For the questions
I once had too.
I created the Playbook because being good at design doesn’t automatically teach you how to run a business.
The briefs, the pricing, the client conversations. So much of it comes with experience, and sometimes a mistake you’d rather not repeat.
This is where I’ve put what I’ve learnt into something you can keep beside you. Read a little. Try something. Find a way of working that leaves room for your life too.

“WOW! Thank you for the beautiful playbook and congratulations — it is more than I expected.”

A FEW THINGS YOU MIGHT BE WONDERING
Before you
make it yours.
Is this a printed or digital planner?
The Playbook is a printed planner. The Companion is its digital support space, with reading, small tools and access to templates. The Creatives’ Digital Planner is a separate product.
Do I need to wait for a new year?
No. The weekly diary pages are undated, so you can start whenever you’re ready.
What happened to the digital resources?
They’re now brought together in the Playbook Companion. It follows the topics in your planner and adds practical reading and small tools alongside access to the templates.
Is the Companion the same as the Studio Desk?
No. The Companion supports your printed planner. The Studio Desk is a separate workspace for managing clients, projects, finances and more. Try the Studio Desk demo ↗
Can I try it before buying?
Yes. The Companion demo above includes four sample sections. You can click around and try the small tools. It doesn’t save your information or give access to the full template downloads.
Where do I order?
Order through the Kunshuis shop, where you can check the current price and availability. For international shipping, contact Kunshuis to arrange it individually.
