Creative brief and feedback rounds desk for designers
the brief and the agreed number of rounds stay in view while feedback arrives, and each round becomes a numbered change list in a Table — so ‘make it pop’ turns into specific changes, each with a decision. Distinct from design feedback rounds (the process) and /graphic-designers (the campaign page).
What goes on the desk
- Page ‘Creative brief’ (audience, message, tone, deliverables, rounds included, sign-off) (widget page)
- Gallery of references and versions (widget gallery)
- Color widgets for the palette (widget color)
- Table ‘Feedback’ (Round (single select), Number, Request, Decision, Status) grouped by round (widget table filter group)
- Inbox showing only this client’s mail by a rule you can see (needs a connected mailbox) (widget inbox)
- Contacts (widget contacts)
- Design widget for layouts (widgets draw and diagram).
Set it up
one desk per client job; write the brief first; add the feedback table; connect mail.
- Create a desk named for the real outcome, client or deadline.
- Add the suggested widgets and rename each one for the job it performs.
- Bring in the existing files or tables before inventing another copy of the information.
- Set a due date, add the first visible next action, then save the arrangement as a template if you will repeat it.

Use it day to day
paste each round into the table, number it, decide each line, send the round notes.
A useful desk should reduce copying. Keep each changing fact in one widget, and let charts, summaries or views read from that source.
A worked starting point
Fictional example. Create the desk, add three real items that are already in motion, then use one full work cycle before changing the layout. At the end, remove anything you did not consult and add only the object that would have prevented a real interruption.
