This happens to me every day in my current studio.
It sucks. Sometimes it comes down to how it's presented, but sometimes it's about a client that doesn't appreciate (or doesn't know how to appreciate) the nuances of design.
Maybe you just have to be a better presenter of your work. And it goes without saying you and your co-workers should go over eachother's stuff and have a better understanding of the rationale and strengths and weaknesses of each presented piece before going into the client meetings. You should decide on a recommended "best direction" for the client before figuring shit out in a boardroom. That, or again, simply be a better preacher of the benefits of your creative over the other options.
The last thing I'll say is that you're lucky to get to present your own creative. Clients are totally off limits to designers where I'm at right now.
- How nice would it be to one day say "This is your new logo" and that's thatacrossthesea
- Meh. it'd be nicer to have good account people to work with, to be honest. I don't pretend to be right all the time.Gucci
