Workflow between designer and client

It depends on the project. For logos and illustrations, I do a rough comp. But for publications, advertisements, invitations etc I jump straight in and send a pdf proof.

To minimise changes, you need to get a good idea of what your client wants before you start.

^ I agree with Buda... Having a precise scope of work outlining a schedule of deliverables is very important to YOU as a designer if you want to even break even. Especially if you have a "lazy " client ie: one you can't make up their minds ( if they have a brain to begin with ).

Also if you have a client you says to you, they "don't know Art or Design" but know what they like run away fast or have an ironclad agreement ready.

thirding what buda said.

for publications/advertisements/promotional materials, i talk with the client and create a design brief based on our conversation. they approve the brief, and then i just get started. i have changes built into my contract and stress to the client that they should make multiple changes at once to avoid extra fees.
