BEGINROOMS / ACTUAL PRODUCT24 SEC · SILENT · SAMPLE PROJECT

01 / A PROJECT, WITH ITS CONTEXT

The brief. The budget.
The bigger picture.

Bring the working parts of a client launch into one project cube. Open a canvas face for the brief, map the process, and keep the budget and handoff close.

02 / FILES & HANDOFFS

Make the handoff easy to follow.

A brief and checklist are more useful when the recipient knows which file to open and what to do next.

WORKED EXAMPLESample data

“I know I wrote that somewhere.”

Lead with the result. Keep the first draft simple.

Give the useful part of a conversation a clear title and a project.

Separate the thought from the task.

Note: what changed after the call
Reference: the example worth keeping
Task: send the revised first draft

A short note preserves the context; a specific action makes it easier to resume.

03 / NOTES & NEXT STEPS

Keep the thought. Find the next move.

A meeting note, a useful reference and one next action belong close enough to find again.

WORKED EXAMPLESample data

Choose the exact destination your reader expects from the label.

Name the action. Test the route.

04 / LINKS & PROMOTION

Give every scan a useful destination.

Connect a poster, profile or presentation to a page that answers the next question.

WORKED EXAMPLESample data

Start with the space on the page.

2400 × 1600 source
1200 × 800 example

A wide header and a small article card need different image dimensions. These are example sizes.

Compare more than the number.

Choose dimensions for the layout
Compare an appropriate output format
Check detail and file size

Check text, fine lines, faces and transparency at the size visitors will actually see.

05 / IMAGES & PUBLISHING

Keep the detail. Lose the excess.

Prepare an image for the space it will occupy, then compare quality and file size before publishing.

WORKED EXAMPLESample data

A project is delivered. A balance remains.

FICTIONAL EXAMPLEINV-104 · ₹30,000

Paid ₹18,000
Remaining ₹12,000

This fictional example is a reminder draft, not a payment instruction or legal template.

Give the recipient the useful facts.

Invoice reference and outstanding balance
A clear, courteous request
A route for questions or corrections

Check the agreed due date and payment record before writing.

Ready to review before sending.

DRAFT EXCERPTA clear follow-up

Hi Maya, ₹12,000 remains on invoice INV-104. Could you confirm the expected payment date?

Edit the wording for the real agreement and confirm the figures. Sending remains your decision.

06 / CLIENT WORK

Keep the invoice reference, amount remaining and requested action together. Use a calm, specific message.
