Creative work is easier to assess when the brief explains who it is for and what it should achieve. A request to make something look professional is too open-ended on its own.
What to check
Provide the intended audience, channels and examples of suitable style. Specify the deliverables and where they will be used. Agree revision rounds, timelines and usage rights. If photography, fonts or other third-party assets are involved, confirm the permissions needed so the finished work can be used as intended.
Questions to ask
- Who is the audience?
- Which files and sizes are needed?
- Are usage rights clear?
Use a review point before final delivery
Agree when you will see work in progress and what feedback is useful at that stage. Gather comments from the people who need to approve the work before sending them back together. Check factual details, dimensions and practical use as well as appearance. Keep a record of approved changes. At handover, confirm that the agreed files, permissions and instructions are included so the finished work can be used without avoidable extra enquiries.
