Design Checklist

Write An Effective Design Brief
A design brief is a written explanation – given to a designer – outlining the aims & objectives of a design project. A thorough and articulate design brief is
a critical part of the design process.
It helps develop trust and understanding between the client and designer – and serves as an essential point of reference for both parties.Provide ExamplesProviding examples of what you consider to be effective or relevant design can be a great help in writing a design brief. Make sure to include samples of your current marketing materials – even if their only purpose is to explain what you don’t want!

What do i need to get started?

If there is a design style that you particularly like or dislike – then explain why in the brief. If you’re not entirely sure why you like a certain design style, good starting points include:

• Colour
• Imagery
• Quantity and quality of text
• Typography
• The atmosphere that particular designs create
• Clear Brief on Email – Please check your spelling
• Include any supporting images you wish to use
• Contact numbers
