Top 10 tips for a great graphic design briefWritten on the 19 November 2015 by Snap Marketing How do you get the design you want? By creating an effective graphic design brief.Whether you're working with a graphic designer on a new website, catalogue, logo or promotional flyers for your business, it's crucial to give them a clear and detailed brief. If you're not sure exactly what you want, start by sharing any general thoughts and ideas you may have and Snap can work with you to develop it into a brief. The more information you can provide them with, the better the end result will be. Here's our top 10 tips for any graphic design brief:1. Corporate profile Don't assume a designer knows your business. Write a paragraph explaining who you are and what you do. Include a summary, a brief history, the products/services you provide and distribution. 2. Target audience What is the demographic of the people you want to reach the age, gender, income, location and lifestyle? 3. Market position Describe where your product or service stands amongst the competition. What makes your business different from the rest? 4. Objectives
What is it that you're after: poster, promotional flyer, website, email? 5. Overview Why do you need this graphic design work now? Have you relaunched? Are you about to introduce a new product? 6. Copy and pictures What copy and pictures will you need to go with the design? Who will be providing these? 7. Background Give your designer any past and present communication you've done. Tell them what worked and what didn't. 8. Examples of relevant work It might help to include some examples of other work you like so the designer can see what your tastes are. 9. Deadline Ask the designer what they think is a realistic deadline and work around that. A deadline too tight may restrict creativity. 10. Budget Ask around to find out what's reasonable for the size of your project. At Snap, our experienced graphic designers know how to bring your ideas to life.
