Description

The most overlooked step in freelancing is A solid project brief.

You’ve sent the proposal. They’ve signed the contract. You got the deposit. Now it’s time to get everyone aligned, and that’s where the Project Brief Template comes in.

This Canva based, customizable template helps you present a clear and visually compelling breakdown of what the client can expect from you, and what you’ll need from them. It’s the first impression of your working process, and it builds both trust and structure.

💼 What’s inside the template:

• Cover Image & Table of Contents – make your work look polished right from page 1

• Project Overview – a quick summary to ground the project

• Objectives & Goals – what the brand or business hopes to achieve

• Moodboard & Brand Colors – visual direction and tone for design-based projects

• Scope of Work – detailed list of what’s included (and what’s not)

• Deliverables & Timeline – set expectations and reduce scope creep

• What I Need From You – gather key items from the client (like access, references, brand files)

🛠️ Fully Editable on Canva

• Easily duplicate for every new client or project

• Take out pages you don’t need, or add custom ones for different services

• Designed to be visual, easy to skim, and client friendly

🎯 Why it works:
This template helps you kick off the project with confidence and clarity, no guesswork, no confusion. It bridges the gap between the admin stage and the creative execution phase, giving your clients a clear roadmap and giving you fewer emails to answer.

Think of it as your “mission brief”  clean, professional, and branded to you.
