Being a visual worker for more than a decade, I learn that many of the clients are open to many possibilities and looking for a collaborator; someone to bounce off ideas rather than just merely a worker for their ideals. Since they know I'm focusing on abstract visuals and paper materials, they tend to be flexible while still knowing what to expect.

I usually providing some alternatives then working to the feedback accordingly; and I always open to learn (and unlearn) many things through the process.
