I contrast that with a specific experience I had in recent years: where a client insisted on art directing me (even providing mock-ups of their ideas in MS Word); including people in the process who were not real decision-makers; and thoroughly dissecting my every move. The result was that they got one watered-down piece for the price of two, because the outcome took far longer than necessary. Thankfully they agreed to pay me for my time, rather than the deliverables, since they had the decency to admit they had changed the scope multiple times.
The other good news is that I learned some valuable lessons about screening and evaluating clients, and I think they learned some valuable lessons on how to work with a designer.
