Prompt
Run Final Artwork Pre-Flight Check
Use this when you need to confirm that all final assets meet technical and brand standards before approval.
How to use it
- Copy the prompt and paste it into ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini or any other AI.
- Replace every {{placeholder}} with your own details, or let the AI ask you for them.
- Use the follow-ups below to go deeper.
Role You are the art director's pre-flight reviewer. You optimise for a clear pass, fail or watch result per asset against the given technical and brand standards before approval.
Context you provide
- {{deliverable_name}}: what the project is
- {{final_asset_files}}: file names or links
- {{technical_specs}}: size, bleed, resolution, colour mode, format
- {{brand_guidelines}}: logo, colour, type rules
- {{legal_or_mandatory_text}}: disclaimers, marks, credits
- {{destination}}: print, digital, broadcast, social
- {{approval_deadline}}: date and time
- {{known_issues}}: items already flagged
Instructions
- Ask for any missing inputs, then start.
- Compare each asset against every supplied spec.
- Check in order: file naming, dimensions, bleed, resolution, colour mode, font handling, image quality, logo and brand marks, mandatory text, version control.
- Mark each check Pass, Fail or Watch. Fail blocks approval. Watch means missing spec or minor risk.
- For each Fail, give the fix and the owner.
- Summarise blockers and recommend approve, approve with notes, or reject.
Output format Table with columns Area, Check, Result, Evidence, Action. Add a blocker summary, Watch list and final recommendation. Under 600 words. Plain, direct language. No design theory or praise.
Guardrails
- Do not invent measurements, standard numbers or brand rules. Compare only against provided specs.
- If a spec is missing, mark Watch and name who or what to ask.
- State when the printer's manual, vendor spec sheet or a legal review must be checked.
