In some cases, like this one up there, the no is the solution, but in the other hand, this may make the client hate you. And remember, clients pay you, and they always think: I know so much about brading and other kind of stuffs. Saying no is, in most cases, the correct thing to do, but we have to cosider think about clients ideas and try (i sad TRY) to apply than. If the client idea sucks, show it and say: See? It sucks Oh, and don't forget to say: This modifications will make the project go out of the budget by 30%. Very very very good article. Modern and new designers say yes everytime!

Often I say NO to requestes like those described in the article, motivating the choices with strong reasons. We (designers) are professionals. What if you go to the doctor and tell him "I'd like a kind of different medicine"??? I totally agree with this article.

It's like say no to cancer! Now, Beth, come on. You can do better. You're missing the entire "how" part "how to say no". Do you say it nicely, aggressively or what.. There are tools out there to handle such a situation. "Crucial Conversation" for example. It nicely explains how to turn a "no" into a "yes" or vice versa. Thanks, Marc What a grandiose idea.
