Design Guidelines

When creating a graphic design brief, it’s important to provide clear and comprehensive guidelines to ensure that the we understand your requirements and can deliver the desired results.

Here are some key elements to include in your graphic design brief:

PROJECT OVERVIEW

Start by providing a brief overview of the project, including the purpose and goals of the design. Explain the context, target audience, and any specific requirements or constraints.

OBJECTIVES & DELIVERABLES

Clearly define the objectives of the design project. Specify the deliverables you expect, such as logo design, branding materials, website design, packaging design, etc.

BRAND IDENTITY

If the design is for an existing brand, provide information about your brand’s identity, values, and personality. Include brand guidelines, if available, such as logos, colour schemes, fonts, and any other visual elements that should be incorporated.

DESIGN SPECIFICATIONS

Outline the specific design specifications, such as dimensions, file formats, and any technical requirements for the final deliverables. If the design will be used across different mediums (print, web, social media), mention the required formats for each.

TARGET AUDIENCE

Describe the target audience for your design project. Include demographic information, preferences, interests, and any other relevant details that will help us create visuals that resonate with the intended audience.

DESIGN STYLE & MOOD

Provide guidance on the desired design style and mood. Use descriptive words or adjectives to convey the overall look and feel you want to achieve. You can also include visual references or examples of designs that you find appealing.

CONTENT & COPY

Specify the content and copy that will be included in your design. This can include headlines, taglines, body text, and any other textual elements. If we need to incorporate specific language or copy points, make sure to include them.

TIMELINE & DEADLINES

Clearly state the project timeline, including the start date, milestones, and final deadline. If there are any specific dates or events associated with the project, mention them as well.

COMMUNICATION & FEEDBACK

Indicate your preferred method and frequency of communication. Let us know how and when you expect to receive updates, and we will establish a process for providing feedback and revisions.

LEGAL & COPYWRITE

If there are any legal or copyright considerations, such as the use of licensed images or trademarks, include relevant information and ensure that we are aware of any restrictions.

Remember, the more detailed and precise your design brief is, the better we will understand your vision and be able to deliver a design that meets your expectations.
