Good design doesnt just happen. It evolves.
I mean seriously.. what do you people want us to do??
Example;
Say i'm working on your design. Ive just spent the day clicking, but it just doesnt look right. Im not happy with it.
Do i carry on and deliver a product that neither of us are happy with.
Or do I take it on the chin... lose time/money... and start again?
I say that a good designer who is proud of their work starts again.
And any designer who says they get it right first time everytime is lying.. or they knock out shit.

I agree you with you on some levels, I worked for one of the biggest design companies in this industry not going to mention the name but sometimes designers get to a point where they feel that their work is so good it doesn't matter of the deadline which is wrong. The fact is time is money and sometimes works needs to be done by a certain date otherwise it's useless so in that sense the designer should look over and see whether he or she can even finish the project before jumping head first.
