Not everything is going to be brilliant, sometimes you have to just crank stuff and please the client.

1.) Be appropriate
2.) The client is not always right
3.) The client may need your help in understanding what is 'appropriate' - once they understand... THEN they're always right - and DEFINITELY let them think they're the ones who figured out what it means to be appropriate because then they'll keep coming back... filling your pockets with cash.
4.) 'good design' is subjective - even the most seasoned designers disagree on design - passionately -
... so... relax and be happy you actually get to do something you like.

For every project, produce three comps. One which you know is exactly what the client needs and is the "safe" option. Another one is your pie in the sky take that would be what you would do if you had complete free reign and creative control. And a third one that you just tossed off because three comps feels better than two.

Try not to have any emotional connection or commitment to any particular set of tools or techniques.
- does this apply for music making as well?madirish
- Ideally, yes. And doubly true for arts martial and subtly true for lovemaking in all it's guises.TheBlueOne
