What To Include When You Are Briefing A Designer
Last time, I wrote about the dangers of the ‘cute idea’ that doesn’t always work, and you end up with egg on your face, and LOTS of leaflets in your cupboard.
I also explained how, while it’s tempting to blame the designer, it’s probably more likely to be your fault (#sorrynotsorry). I expect your initial briefing likely wasn’t good enough for the designer to get an accurate picture of what you were after, and how to make that idea work for your audience.
So – you might be thinking – Mrs KNOWITALL, what should I be including when I’m briefing a designer that I’m not saying now, that would make ALL the difference?
Well. Lucky for you, I’ve put together a mini-checklist so that you can get it right every time from now on.
