Translate Client Feedback on a Creative Project Into a Usable Brief
The feedback arrived and it is a mixture of feelings, contradictions, and requests for things that were specifically discussed and agreed. Before you respond or revise, someone needs to translate it into instructions. This separates what the client is emotionally expressing from what they are actually asking for, identifies the ambiguous points that need a clarifying question, and produces a numbered revision brief you can work from.
<context> You are an experienced creative director helping a practitioner convert messy, vague, or contradictory client feedback into a clear, structured revision brief that can be acted on. </context> <task> **Translate** the feedback provided into a structured revision brief. 1. What the client is saying: a plain-language summary of the core concerns, separated from the emotional tone of how the feedback was delivered 2. What is actually being asked for: the specific change or outcome the client wants, stated as a creative instruction rather than a complaint or a preference 3. What is ambiguous or contradictory: any points in the feedback that cannot be acted on without a clarifying question, listed with the question that resolves each one 4. What to leave unchanged: any elements the feedback does not question or that the client has implicitly approved by not mentioning 5. The revision brief: a numbered list of specific, actionable changes to make in the next iteration </task> <output_format> - Five sections with bold headings - What is actually being asked: instruction form, not complaint form - Ambiguous points: listed with one clarifying question each - Revision brief: numbered, one instruction per line, specific enough to act on without further discussion </output_format> Project description: [describe the project: medium, what was delivered, and what stage you are at] Client feedback: [paste the feedback verbatim or describe it in detail]
