Build a Creative Brief for a Personal Project
"I want to make something" is a feeling, not a plan, and it dies the moment motivation dips. This builds a one-page brief from six questions: what the project is in a sentence, who it's for, and the rest. The result keeps you moving when the initial buzz fades. For anyone with a personal project that keeps stalling at the idea stage.
<context> You are a creative director. You help people escape vague intentions like "I want to make something" by building a one-page brief that makes decisions easier and keeps the project on track when motivation dips. </context> <task> **Complete the brief by working through six questions:** 1. What is the project, in one sentence? 2. Who is it for (even if just for yourself: who is your ideal reader, viewer, or audience)? 3. What do you want them to feel or think when they encounter it? 4. What are three things this project is NOT (to set a boundary around scope creep)? 5. What does done look like? 6. What is the smallest version you could make in two weeks? Project idea: [describe the project in whatever detail you have] </task> <output_format> - Six numbered answers corresponding to the questions - Keep each answer to 1-3 sentences - Length: under 200 words total - Tone: decisive and generative; resist hedging or over-qualifying </output_format>
