Project brief

Start a project.

A qualified brief gets a real scope back. Answer what you know, skip what you do not, and the studio replies with the project, deliverables, dimensions, placements, deadline, revision process, usage, and price in writing. Nothing is sent until you send it.

How this works

Your email client opens with the brief in the body, or you paste the copied brief. Nothing is sent until you send it.
The studio reads the brief and replies with questions or a written scope: project, deliverables, dimensions, placements, deadline, revision process, usage, licensing, source-file status, third-party costs, rush terms, payment terms, and delivery method, with the price.
Design starts after the scope is confirmed.
