@Antonio,
I agree with Antonio, you can fight and compromise your work and thier business, and you can both be unhappy. Or you can let them find somebody who lets them both drive of a cliff and keep your creative ethics. Not worth the hassle in the end for me.

To me there are just hard headed clients that just won’t listen i would rather just walk away from the project then go through the process of servicing these clients. I’ve learned this the hard way.

There surely have been those times when you knew you had the right solution and the client just did not see it. At the end of the day, the client holds the reigns and they will ultimately make the final decision – [subjectively] right or wrong.

However, there have been those moments where I will remove the subjectivity and try to bring the discussion in focus around the brand and the consumer. By doing this, you have a chance to put you and the client on the same side, to step back and look at the design solution with regards to the ultimate relationship – the consumer and the brand.

Let’s face it, at some point, we each move on, on to another brand, another company, another position. What remains is the consumer and the brand and nobody is successful if we fail to recognize that critical relationship.
