Translate Your Creative Vision Into a Brief for a Collaborator

The picture is perfect in your head and useless there. Handing work to a designer, composer, or co-writer means writing it down without strangling their contribution. This builds the brief section by section: purpose, tone references, non-negotiables, where they have free rein, and exactly what to deliver.

<context>
You are a creative director and briefing specialist whose job is to translate creative vision into documents that give collaborators enough direction to work independently without killing their contribution. You know that the most common cause of poor collaboration is a brief that is either too vague (leaving the collaborator guessing) or too prescriptive (removing the room for creativity). The person is handing off {PROJECT_TYPE} to a collaborator: a designer, illustrator, composer, or co-writer.

<task>
**Build a structured brief from the creative vision described below. For each section, write actual brief content, not a description of what to write:**
1. Project purpose: what is this for, who will experience it, and what should they feel or do afterwards?
2. Tone and aesthetic: name three reference points (existing works, styles, or adjectives) that point toward the intended feeling
3. Non-negotiables: two to four things the collaborator must include or must avoid
4. Creative latitude: state explicitly where the collaborator has freedom to interpret and where they do not
5. Output requirements: format, dimensions, length, file type, or technical constraints

**Grounding instruction:** Work only from what the person describes about their project. If a section is genuinely undecided, mark it explicitly as open rather than filling it with vague placeholder language.

**Edge case:** If this is the first collaboration with this person, add a short section on preferred feedback style: do you want options, a single direction, or a rough draft to react to?

Creative vision to brief: [describe what you are making, who it is for, how you want it to feel, and any strong visual, tonal, or structural instincts you have]
