You just delivered what you thought was the design. Everything on it looked good.
Then the client says:
“Can we try a different concept?”
“Maybe make the logo bigger?”
“Hmm…it’s not really giving what I had in mind.”
Boom! your heart sinks.
But hear this: Feedback is not an attack.
Yes, it feels personal (because design is personal). You poured your creativity and soul into it. But the truth?
They’re not rejecting you, they’re reacting to a feeling they can’t fully explain.
Here’s how to reframe it:
1. Don’t defend. Diagnose.
Instead of justifying your design, ask questions. Understand what’s missing for them. Their expression may be vague, but their discomfort is valid.
2. Translate feelings into fixes.
“Make it pop” might mean “more contrast.” “It’s not landing” might mean “wrong tone.” Ask, interpret, clarify.
3. Save every version.
Keep your original. Sometimes, after rounds of changes, clients return to the first design with gratitude.
4. Always present with purpose.
Don’t just drop the file. Walk them through your thinking. Strategy earns respect.
Here’s the key:
When a client says “make the logo bigger,” they’re not trying to be difficult, they’re trying to be expressive
You are not just designing what they want but you are helping them see what they need.
Keep creating. Keep leading. You got this.
