As a visual designer to start a project, I typically need the following information and resources:

Project brief: goals, objectives, and scope of the design project.

Brand guidelines: If you have an established brand, I may have to follow the brand guidelines, which outline the brand’s visual identity and provide details on typography, colour palette, imagery style, and other visual elements.

Content: I may need an access to the content that will be included in the design solution, such as text, images, and videos (if applicable).

Feedback and collaboration: I will need to receive feedback to make design decisions.
