Graphic Design Request Intake & Creative Brief Survey
Captures a complete brief for an internal or client graphic design request — project type, goal, audience, brand constraints, and priority trade-offs — so designers stop guessing what 'good' looks like. An AI follow-up interview digs into the real goal behind the ask and surfaces conflicting stakeholder expectations before work begins.
Sample questions
A preview of what’s in the template. Every question is editable before you launch.
What kind of design do you need?
- Logo or brand mark
- Social media graphics
- Print materials (flyer, brochure, poster)
- Presentation or pitch deck
- Packaging design
- Web or app UI graphics
- Signage or environmental graphics
- Other
In your own words, what should this design accomplish — and what does success look like once it's out in the world?
Who is the primary audience that will see or use this design?
Do you have existing brand guidelines this design needs to follow?
- Yes, strict guidelines must be followed exactly
- Yes, but some creative flexibility is fine
- No formal guidelines exist yet
- Not sure — need guidance from the designer
For this specific request, which of these matter most and least?
- Visual impact / eye-catching design
- Consistency with existing brand identity
- Clarity of the core message
- Creative originality or uniqueness
- Turnaround speed
- Cost efficiency
- Ease of future edits or reuse
How important is each of these elements for this specific piece?
- Color palette
- Typography
- Imagery or illustration style
- Layout and composition
- Tone of voice in any copy/text
How flexible is the deadline for this request?
When do you need the final files delivered?
Upload any reference images, brand guidelines, or examples you'd like the designer to see (optional).
Explore the real-world context behind this request: what prompted it, who the key stakeholders and approvers are, and what success looks like in the requester's own words. If they mentioned strict or unclear brand guidelines, or ranked conflicting priorities in the trade-off question, probe how those tensions should be resolved. Surface any specific must-have or must-avoid elements they haven't already listed, and flag if their stated audience and stated goal seem mismatched.
Which department are you submitting this request for?
- Marketing
- Product
- Sales
- Executive / Leadership
- Other department
- Prefer not to say

How it compares
We reviewed the closest templates from other survey tools. Here’s what they do well — and where this template goes further.
Why this template
- Goes beyond checkbox fields with an AI follow-up interview that probes the real goal behind the request and surfaces conflicting stakeholder expectations before design work starts.
- Uses a MaxDiff and importance matrix to force explicit prioritization of trade-offs (e.g., speed vs. polish vs. brand fit), not just an open 'notes' box.
- Captures deadline flexibility, brand guideline status, department, and reference file uploads alongside open-ended goal and audience questions for a genuinely complete brief.
- Automated per-response quality scoring and an auto-generated report mean designers get a structured, review-ready brief instead of a raw form dump.
Jotform
Graphic Design Request Form TemplateA standard fielding-ready intake form for collecting design requests, likely with typical fields like project type, deadline, and file attachments. It's built for quick deployment and integrates with Jotform's broader form ecosystem, but it functions as a static data-collection form rather than a probing interview.
What it does well
- Ready-to-use template within a mature, widely adopted form builder
- Likely supports file uploads and basic conditional logic
- Easy to customize and embed for internal or client-facing use
Where it falls short
- No adaptive follow-up questioning — respondents can't be probed further if their brief is vague or contradictory
- No mechanism to surface conflicting stakeholder expectations before work begins
- No automated quality scoring or auto-generated brief/report output
SurveySparrow
Graphic Design Request Form TemplateA conversational-style form template for capturing design requests, benefiting from SurveySparrow's chat-like UI for a friendlier intake experience. It covers the basics of a design brief but remains a fixed question set with no real-time probing of underlying goals.
What it does well
- Conversational, chat-style interface that may feel more approachable than a static form
- Likely includes rating/scale questions for prioritization
- Mobile-friendly design suited for quick submissions
Where it falls short
- No AI-driven follow-up to dig into the real motivation or resolve conflicting asks
- No published methodology for how responses are interpreted or scored
- Lacks structured trade-off tools like MaxDiff for prioritizing design elements
Typeform
Design Request Form TemplateA polished, one-question-at-a-time form template well-suited to collecting design requests in a visually appealing format. It's a fielding-ready template but, like the others, relies on a fixed question flow rather than any adaptive interviewing.
What it does well
- Clean, guided one-question-at-a-time UX that reduces form fatigue
- Strong visual design and branding customization options
- Good for capturing structured basics like project type and deadlines
Where it falls short
- No adaptive AI interview to explore context, stakeholders, or hidden conflicts behind the request
- No per-response quality scoring or automated brief generation
- No voice-based interview option for richer, more natural responses
