I soooo understand the look on that guy's face. I'm sure I've had that look in many meetings.

Hence the value of autocracy.
It's no accident that Apple's design department knows exactly what it is doing, and creates things with style.

A perfect example of why not to say yes to all client's comments and suggestions when working on an advertising project, learn to say things like: "As an advertising company we don´t recommend this"; "Our experience on previous similar cases tells us that it is
absolutely not convenient to do this or that" or "Let us present our initial draft first, and then we will listen to your comments and observations"
