If you’re starting a project, but haven’t received a brief, now’s the time
to take matters into your own hands!
This template, which accompanies both our Deep Dive and Warm Up
exercises, will help you compile all relevant project details into a single,
organized brief, so that everyone involved is aligned from kick-off to
final creative review. Use our Email Templates to gather any informa-
tion that may have been missing from initial communication with your
client. You’ll also find a few prompts below (in italics) to further inform
your follow-up conversations.
This template came from Tyrus, a free digital toolkit from Airbnb Design.

Feel free to edit this template and utilize it for your own purposes. :Belo: Tyrus

PROJECT BACKGROUND
BRAND
Does your company have a brand book or any documentation on the use of space, color, texture, and
tone of voice? If so, please include a link below. If not, let’s talk more about your preferences, and the
ways I can draw on my own personal style to strengthen the overall vision of the project.
Seeing what inspires you will help me craft a well-informed approach to the
illustration(s) I’ll eventually create. Please include any photos, art, design
references, or color swatches that reflect the look and feel of the work you’d
like to see.
This will help me get a better sense of where my artwork will appear, and what
specifications it will need to fit to work in those contexts. Please include any
wireframes, mocks, flows, or screenshots—any and all supporting material is
helpful!
• Context
• Constraints
Will this illustration live by itself or will there be other design elements
appearing alongside it? (Is there text on top? Will it be cut off in any way
by the design of a page?, etc.)
