📄 How to Understand and Use a Client Brief

“50% of a designer’s success depends on understanding what the client wants. But sometimes the client doesn’t say anything clearly — that’s when we have to think about it.”

✔ Tips for understanding a brief:

If the client says something vague (e.g. “modern look”), ask them: “Can you provide an inspiration link?”

If the brief doesn’t mention color, get the color tone from their logo/brand or social media.

Always read the brief and shortlist:

• What is needed?

• What is the target audience?

• Deadline and file format?

🛠️ Tools to Use: Google Forms, Notion templates for collecting structured briefs.

🧑‍💻 Fiverr Tips for New Designers (Just for those who are starting out)

“I’m brand new to Fiverr. So I’m sharing what I’m learning with you.”

🔥 What you should do at the beginning:

1. Create a clean profile with your name or brand name

2. Make the gig thumbnail yourself, using Canva/XD/Photoshop

3. Do keyword research (e.g. “Minimalist Logo” vs “Modern Logo”)

4. Write the type of work clearly in the Fiverr description (with examples)

5. Adorn the gig image with practice work, create a portfolio even if you don't get work

📌 Avoid These:

• Copying other people's designs

• Overpromising & underdelivering

• Not maintaining the design quality even if you give 24hrs delivery time
