It doesn't really matter. A lot of clients have no respect for artists and expect you to pull the awful design in their head out through telepathy and magically make it not awful. The best is when you have to tell someone their idea is impossible or wildly impractical. That always goes well with this type of person

Yeah, I had some ideas for a logo (I came up with my wife's last logo, and it's dope, and I'm still proud of it, and we had a talented designer clean it up and make it doper). Both of our designers disregarded it entirely. One came up with nothing as good, the other blew it out of the water within an hour.

It would truly be an unpleasant slog (for everyone) if I were unwilling to let go of my ideas and surrender to the professionals.
