Write the actual problem
State who needs to do what and under which conditions. A brief becomes more workable when it identifies a use rather than a preferred decorative style. Check each proposal against that use.
Show alternatives with reasons
Present a small number of distinct approaches and explain what each improves or gives up. A comparison helps discussion stay tied to the problem instead of becoming a vote on personal taste.
Inspect the handover
Check filenames, dimensions, type, and output requirements before delivering work. Give the next person enough information to use the design without guessing which version or setting is intended.
