Re: “3. Clients like shiny color stuff better than black and white stuff.”

(In my experience) i have found the approach of initially presenting hand drawn, penciled concepts portraying the ideas work a treat. Talking through the concept and direction in this way let's them feel like they are included in the creation of the design – and it also saves me going down the avenue (of an idea) that they straight-up dislike. Only then will i refine and finally put into the computer to be worked up for review.

P.S. I only just found this site, and am trawling through the various articles and pages – very good stuff!

It will help you gain approval faster with less changes if they think it was their own idea. You lose some authority as the designer but at this point you know that you never want to work with this client again and just want to get the job done.
