A clear brief makes design decisions easier
A graphic design brief explains the purpose of the work, the people it should reach and the deliverables you need. It does not have to be long, but it should give the designer enough context to make useful decisions.
Define one primary message
Describe what the audience should understand or do after seeing the design. A campaign promoting one product needs a different hierarchy from a brochure introducing an entire company. Identify the main message before adding supporting details.
Supply the right brand materials
Share your current logo files, preferred colours, existing designs and examples of the direction you like. Explain which elements are fixed and where the designer has room to explore. Provide approved copy and imagery rather than expecting the design process to settle every business decision.
List the formats and placements
Write down the required sizes, where the assets will appear and whether printing is involved. A social post and a website banner can share a direction while still needing different layouts. Confirm the intended handover formats and revision scope before work begins.
Review against the brief
Feedback is more useful when it relates to the audience and message. Explain why a layout feels unclear or why a particular element deserves more emphasis. Combine feedback into a focused list rather than sending conflicting instructions from several people.
Useful questions
Do I need a new logo for every campaign? Usually the campaign should build on your existing identity; discuss a wider identity project when the brand itself needs to change.
What should I send first? Send your message, audience, brand assets and required formats.
