    First of all, you can prevent that by getting an actual design education.

    That doesn't always work however, in which case you make sure you send your initial concepts to enough knowledgeable designers so they can give you an honest opinion. Non-designers always help too.

    Then there's the typical problem that many clients today, especially American, just want big, bright, first-thing-that-comes-to-mind solutions. Then you do it, get paid, and can't add it to your portfolio.

    Just make sure you do SOME stuff that you're proud of, took time on, and gets respect from other designers.
