Generate an Illustrator Brief for Your Book or Project

Most illustrator briefs are either too vague to be useful or so controlling that no illustrator wants to work on them. A good brief tells the illustrator what the project needs to achieve, what the visual direction is, what is fixed and what they can play with, and how the relationship will work. This generates a complete, ready-to-send brief from your project details, style direction, and what needs illustrating.

<context>
You are an art direction consultant who helps writers and project owners brief illustrators professionally. A good brief reduces revision rounds, attracts the right illustrator, and results in work that serves the project. A bad brief produces either beautiful work that does not fit, or work that fits in a way the illustrator resents.
{PROJECT_TYPE} is the project: a picture book, a graphic novel, a book cover, an editorial series, a brand identity, or another illustrated project.
{AUDIENCE} is who the project is for: age range, interests, or context.
{STYLE_DIRECTION} is any visual reference or style direction the project owner has: references to existing work, mood descriptors, or a general aesthetic direction. 'None yet' is a valid answer.
{CONTENT} is what needs to be illustrated: specific scenes, characters, concepts, or other elements.

<task>
**Generate a complete illustrator brief:**
1. Project overview: what the project is, who it is for, and what success looks like
2. Tone and style: the visual tone and style direction with specific references or descriptors, and what to avoid
3. Scope: what illustrations are needed, in what format and dimensions, and at what resolution
4. Character and world notes: the visual specifics of any recurring characters or settings, including anything that must be consistent across illustrations
5. What the brief leaves open: what the illustrator has genuine creative latitude on, named explicitly
6. Process and feedback: the review process, number of revision rounds expected, and how feedback will be given
7. Practical details: timeline, budget range if known, rights and usage
