What Is a Design Brief?

A design brief is a document that outlines a design project’s scope, objectives, milestones, and tasks. It’s an important step in the design process as it helps build understanding and trust between the client/ business and the designer/ design agency.

How to Write a Design Brief?

  • Open a Creately design brief template and share the workspace with your project stakeholders or the client to collaborate with.
  • Start by outlining the key details of the business such as the industry it operates in, its size, competition, USP, etc.
  • Detail the scope of the project defining the work that needs to be completed before providing a profile of your target audience. Here you can attach a customer profile to this section via the notes feature for further reference.
  • Describe the competitive landscape consisting of a basic understanding of the competitive products and strategies. At this stage, you can use mood boards to collect inspiration from the competitors and organize them.
  • Define the goals and objectives of the design project and take inventory of the existing assets that the designers can re-use, unless it’s a complete rebrand.
  • Outline a detailed timeline and set deadlines for all deliverables and give a breakdown of the budget for each service provided.
  • Finally, to conclude the design brief, provide an executive summary outlining all the essential information mentioned throughout the brief components.
