How to brief a muralist: five things to bring

· 1 min read

A clear brief saves time and money. Bring these five things to your first conversation and the design phase moves faster.

You do not need to arrive with a finished idea. You do need to arrive with enough context for the artist to start asking the right questions.

  • The wall: photos, measurements, and whether it is indoors or outdoors.
  • The feeling: three or four words for how the space should feel.
  • References: images, colors, or artworks you love (and ones you do not).
  • The timeline: any event, opening, or deadline you are working toward.
  • The budget: a rough range in pesos, so the design is sized to be realistic.

Sharing a budget range is not a trap. It lets the artist propose the right scale and detail instead of guessing.
