Sometimes you have to go with the complete vision from the client, and that is ok. Being a designer is not always about you and your creative flair. Learning to take criticism without hurt feelings will help you in the long run. If you feel strongly that the changes the client is wanting is going to compromise the end goal, such as, readability, being able to fully understand the purpose, it doesn't match brand standards, etc. You can always suggest an alternative to their changes that allow you both to meet in the middle. But key take away is to be professional, don't let your feelings get hurt because of the change and communicate with your client.

Design is a conversation, not a compromise. When clients request major design changes, it’s an opportunity to refine, collaborate, and elevate the final product without sacrificing creative integrity. Here’s how I navigate it: - Educate & Align: I dig into the "why" behind the feedback to ensure the changes align with both the brand’s vision and the project's objectives. -Present Options: Instead of just executing, I offer thoughtful alternatives that balance aesthetics, functionality, and client goals. -Document & Evolve: Keeping a clear record of revisions helps streamline communication and ensures we’re all moving forward with purpose. Great design isn’t about stubbornness—it’s about strategic creativity and a willingness to evolve.

One of the main reasons that your client is demanding changes is you haven't brainstorm the idea before starting. Or your communication is way too weak with your client.

Keep your goals clear! That is the objective—don't lose sight of it! Maintain simple language, as this will ensure clarity. Create a list to outline your objectives and goals. Also, make a list of alternatives; this will help define your style and approach. Track your changes; this will often lead to a "Eureka moment." After reviewing your work multiple times, you may discover a different and original solution. If you have a specific style, evaluate whether it works. Sometimes, we possess a unique touch that makes us different, which can contribute to a specific style or solution—what I mean is a particular graphic language. Every enterprise has its own style! Take walks outdoors; this will help organize your thoughts!

Align your goals and visions with your client. Always remember that you are doing the designs for their approval and interests. It is okay to have their feedback and listen to those since it will help you groq as a designer. What matters most is that you get to do your passion in designing while also pleasing your clients with it.
