First meetings are crucial. In the sense you can establish there what is included, also the target audience, and if this is not clear to your client establish a marketing analysis. When you have those elements at your hand you can "set a common ground" or mutual goal. As you have establish these you can scopae revisions, and a communication to follow, set boundaries and avoid some excessive revisions. Keep in mind changes are in the track always but try to "be these minor changes" that are usual not something that is striking at your eyes.

Balancing client feedback with your design vision can indeed be a delicate dance. Here are a few strategies that might help: Active Listening: Truly understand the client’s perspective and needs. Educate the Client: Share your expertise and explain why certain design choices are made. This can help clients see the value in your vision. Prototyping: Create mock-ups or prototypes to visually demonstrate how your design meets their goals. Compromise Creatively: Find innovative ways to incorporate client feedback without compromising the core of your design. This can often lead to even better outcomes. Set Clear Expectations: From the outset, establish what aspects of the design are non-negotiable and where there is room for flexibility.

For me, every project is a piece of art, and my approach has always been to blend the client’s vision with my creativity. When feedback clashes with my design, I see it as an opportunity to grow and refine the work. I start by understanding the heart of their feedback and then explain my choices in a way that connects back to their goals. Collaboration is key, and finding that common ground often leads to a final result that exceeds both our expectations. At the same time, I make sure to set clear boundaries from the start, so the project stays focused and balanced without endless revisions. In the end, it is about creating something that tells a story while respecting both perspectives.

of course following my personal experience and my self confidence, you can manage to show and explain your vision in details for the client, if this one won't approve your vision, the last step is you execute what he asked for, and he has to assume the results of his choice

It’s about mutual respect and trust by honoring their vision while gently showcasing the beauty that comes from allowing a professional to do what they do best.
