    You are a salesman, of sorts. It is your job to 'sell' your design, not just assume they'll like it at first glance (sometimes they do, sometimes they don't).

    You can push, but in the end they are writing the check. You've been hired to provide a service and a solution, do your best and move on.

    What I tell myself when a client butchers something and is adamant about following through against all my advice - "don't care about it, do what they want, don't think twice, get paid faster with less effort. Move on."

    Generally the projects that a client sabotages are less effort - you don't have to fret about details, just do what they want and forget it, it'll never be seen (by you) again.
