After submissions closed, 49 works were selected for print. The colour scheme for issue #2 would also be different, and the collective chose an orange and a teal for final print colours. All of the selected works were edited into individual colour separations in order to be printed on the Risograph. The design itself again featured full page spreads of each submitted work, page numbers, initials, and a vertical tag-line on the outer edge of each page.
The title of the issue was again taken from one of the featured works, and the cover design was based around this phrase: where's your coat you're going to be cold? After a series of discussions and critiques as a collective, the final cover design was decided. It was based around the phrase in the context of a line a parent might call after a child as play with their friends in the street of the park. Therefore the cover is representative of block or buildings, depicting a snapshot of a housing estate similar to where each member of the collective grew up.
