You’ve found the designer. You know what you want (kind of). But when it comes to actually communicating your vision? That’s where things get…murky.
Designed by a creative strategist with 15 years on both sides of the brief ;)
The Brief Like a Pro Template is a 13-page, fully editable Canva template designed to help you articulate exactly what you need from your creative professional. Whether that’s a graphic designer, videographer, web designer, or brand strategist.
This is a structured framework that walks you through every detail your designer actually needs:
You don’t need design software or a creative background to use it. Just a free Canva account and a willingness to think through what you actually want before your project kicks off.
Why it works
A clear brief saves everyone time AND money. When you give your designer the right information upfront, the work is better, faster, and more aligned with your vision from round one.
Who it’s for
Business owners and teams who hire creative professionals and want to communicate their vision clearly, without needing to speak “designer.”
Graphic designers and creatives who want to provide their clients with a structured way to share project details. You’re welcome to distribute this to your clients as a briefing tool, but reselling the template is not permitted.
What’s Included
A downloadable PDF with clear instructions and a direct link to your editable Canva template. The 13-page template covers:
Project overview (objectives, audience, timeline, budget)
Brand context (positioning, competitors, existing guidelines)
Visual inspiration boards with space to describe what you like and why
Anti-inspiration section (what you don’t want — equally important)
Colour direction with image and description placeholders
Brand vibe selector (choose 3–5 words that capture the feel you’re after)
“What would your brand wear?” personality exercise
Deliverables checklist with file format requirements
Technical specifications and legal requirements
Current assets and links section
Final comments page
