Technically, you're doing work for them & not yourself, so give them what they want. If it's shit, they're the ones who deal with it since its what they asked for. But just think if you hired someone to do a specific task you had in mind, only to have them telling YOU what to do. You'd get pretty ticked. Who knows, they might have a little heads up on what this design is meant to accomplish and in what way it is meant to do so. It'd just be nice if they shared why. Managers/Directors are supposed to be servants as well as leaders, if they are true leaders. That's why L.O' the Rings was such a huge success. Not only were the stories already widely popular, but there was a team behind the creation of the movies. I can't remember the director/producer guy's name this very moment, but he was open to suggestions from his crew. All in all, it lead to a very successful trilogy that LOTR readers loved and not loathed. Rock on.
Oh, and don't put the project in your portfolio if it's crap. You're supposed to reserve that space for some of your best & most representative work anyway.
