Lloyd,
We’ve all been there. And we have the scars to prove it.

I’m not a designer, but I am a commercial writer, and I just finished a project with a marketing department just like this. OMG! (At least I think I’m finished!?)

Excellent! this needs to be played at the beginning of every creative briefing. This is a perfect example of the way the majority corporate America deals with ‘directing’ design. My only criticism is that this is clearly mislabeled (ironically) as this is not the way an ad agency or a creative design studio would answer the brief, but it is the way most clients try and ‘direct’ an agency or creative group.

Generally, design by democracy will create, nothing but a compromise solution or, at best, mediocrity. As my old boss used to say the client ultimately “Gets the design solution they deserve.”
