When to use it

When sending concepts or presenting to a client

Step by step

  1. List what you chose and why

    For each concept, jot quick notes on the colours, type, imagery and layout and what you were aiming for. Bullet points are fine.

  2. Ask the AI to write the rationale

    Paste your notes and the original brief into your AI assistant with this prompt.

    Prompt to copyI'm presenting [number] design concepts to a client who is not a designer. Here is the brief: [paste brief]. Here are my notes on each concept: [paste notes]. For each concept write: a name for the concept (2-3 words), one sentence on the idea behind it, 3 short bullets linking specific choices to the client's goals, and one honest note on where it is strongest and weakest. Use plain, warm language with no design jargon. Keep each concept under 120 words.
  3. Put it beside the visuals

    Add each rationale to the slide or page next to its concept, or paste it into the email that carries the drafts.

  4. Prepare for pushback

    Ask the AI: 'What three objections might this client raise about each concept, and how could I answer them briefly?' Read them before the meeting.

What you get

Concept A: Fresh Start. The idea: a bright, open look that feels welcoming to first-time visitors. Why it works: the soft green links to your outdoor setting; large friendly headings make the date easy to spot from across a car park. Strongest for posters, weaker on tiny social thumbnails.
