When faced with a vague brief, start by asking targeted questions to clarify the client's goals and vision. Break down the project into smaller, manageable parts. Create mood boards or rough sketches and get his feedback early. This may help refine the brief and ensures you're on the right track in the starting.

When a client provides a vague brief, I start by creating a moodboard in Madangles.ai. It allows me to compile various design elements, styles, and inspirations that align with their initial input. I share this moodboard with the client to see if anything resonates with them. Once they identify elements they like, I use that as a foundation to develop a more focused and tailored design strategy.
