How to Write a Great Brief for Prisma

Prisma works from a short brief, a few lines that describe the design you want. You do not need design words. A clear brief simply tells Prisma what matters most.

The four things every brief needs

  1. What it is for: a sale, a grand opening, an event, a new product, a hiring post.
  2. The exact words to show: your headline, the offer, the date, your business name. Put them in quotes if they must appear exactly.
  3. The look: a few words about mood and colors, for example “clean and modern, navy and gold” or “fun and colorful”.
  4. Who it is for: for example “young families”, “office workers” or “small business owners”.

Examples you can copy

  • Coffee shop: “Grand opening post for ‘Bean There Café’. Headline ‘Grand Opening’. ‘20% off this weekend, Nov 15–16’. Warm, cozy, brown and cream.”
  • Online shop: “Flash sale for a skincare shop. ‘Flash Sale 50% off’. ‘Today only’. Fresh and clean, white and soft pink, for women 25–40.”
  • Event: “Poster for a yoga workshop. ‘Morning Flow Workshop’. ‘Sat 9:00 at Green Park’. Calm and natural, green and beige.”
  • Service: “Ad for a home cleaning service. ‘Spotless homes, happy weekends’. ‘Book now’. Bright, friendly, blue and white.”

Do and don’t

  • Do keep it short: three or four lines are enough.
  • Do give one main message. One clear headline beats five small ones.
  • Do include dates, prices and names exactly as you want them shown.
  • Don’t paste long paragraphs. Long text makes designs crowded.
  • Don’t worry about small details. You can change any text, color or position afterwards in the editor or with AI Smart Magic.
