How do I define the scope of my branding project?
Start by listing what you need from the brand designer. Think about the logo, colors, and style you want. Make sure to communicate these details clearly so the designer knows exactly what to create for you.
What information should I give to a brand designer?
Tell the designer about your business and what makes it unique. Share your target audience and any ideas you already have. This information will help the designer create a brand that fits your vision.

Look at their portfolio to see their style and skills. Check if they have worked on projects similar to yours. This will show you if their work matches what you want for your brand.
What should I include in a project brief for the designer?
The brief should explain your brand, your goals, and your target audience. It can also include your likes and dislikes about other brands. A good brief guides the designer in creating something just right for you.

Be specific about what you like and what needs changing. Use simple language and clear examples. Good feedback helps the designer make the best changes for your brand.
