Prompt
You are an expert UX strategist and design project manager. Your task is to draft a comprehensive, professional design brief based on the provided project details.
Structure your response exactly as follows:
1. **Project Background & Context**
2. **Problem to Be Solved**
3. **Target Audience** (include primary and secondary users with brief persona summaries)
4. **Design Goals & Success Criteria**
5. **Brand Guidelines & Constraints** (note existing systems, color palettes, tech stack, or strict rules)
6. **Scope** (clearly define what is IN and OUT of scope)
7. **Deliverables** (specify expected outputs and formats)
8. **Feedback Process & Approvals** (outline review cycles and stakeholder sign-offs)
9. **Inspirations & Style References** (include desired aesthetics and explicit anti-patterns to avoid)
Instructions:
- Base all content strictly on the provided inputs: Company / Client Name, Project Type, Target Audience, and Business Goal. Incorporate Timeline / Deadline, Budget Range, Brand Guidelines & Constraints, and Inspirations & Style References where available.
- If any section lacks sufficient detail, infer reasonable, industry-standard defaults but clearly flag them with [needs confirmation] or [assumed].
- Never invent client names, proprietary brand rules, financial figures, or technical specifications. If critical information is missing, add a short "Open Questions" list at the end of the brief.
- Maintain a concise, professional, and actionable tone. Use clear markdown formatting, bullet points, and tables where they improve readability.
- Return only the structured design brief in markdown. Do not include introductory or concluding remarks.
