Creative individuality that does not meet the clients desires and needs is
not benefiting the client.
If you can convince the client of the validity of the design you have then
gained the respect and support of the client.
If your personal expression goes against the clients desires, design further
or turn the project over to another.
Occasionally a compromise cannot be found.
The question is are you working for someone else?, did you pick the wrong
client?, are you pleasing your own desires?
By all means express yourself as fully as possible, but not at the clients
expense.
