Creative Briefs for AI Production
Write briefs that give people and AI tools exactly what they need to make the right thing
A taste of a lesson
My brief says the visuals should feel 'premium and fresh'. The AI images and my freelancer both missed. What should I write instead?
Those words mean different things to everyone. Translate them into what a camera would see. Premium might be: lots of negative space, one product, soft directional light, a restrained palette of deep green and cream, matte surfaces, no clutter. Fresh might be: morning daylight, dew or water droplets, a hint of greenery, bright but not saturated colours. Add two annotated references for each. Then both your freelancer and your prompt template can use the same words. Which past image from your brand came closest to what you meant?
Written by the teacher as an example. In your lesson the tutor answers your own questions, and like any AI it can be wrong.

Turning adjectives into visible terms fixed our briefing problem. The output matrix idea saved us missing formats.

Practical template. The kickoff playback step caught a misunderstanding before anyone generated anything.

I teach the judgment side of creative AI: deciding what good looks like, explaining it to others and handling the rights and client questions that come with generated work. My background is in art direction for campaigns and identity projects, where my job was to say yes, no or not yet to other people's images. I teach that same eye....
