    Hey man, stuff like this happens.
    Sounds like the doctor's assessment; lack of communication. That's a two way street so I'm not going to point any fingers without knowing either you or the client.
    Some of the hardest clients to steer are the ones who don't have experience dealing with design and figure the process is best summed as, "I'll know it when I see it."
    Getting them to talk about abstract design stuff is sometimes really foreign ground for them. Coupled with the fact that they probably just don't know that they have to help you help them by giving you good, clear information to begin with!
    Some of the hardest designers to work are the ones who think that everything should be handed them on a platter so that they can go back and create magic without any other input.

    • True, very true... I should have been asking for feedback at each stage....DaveO
