In my ever broadening quest to enlighten, I bring you this tip (okay, okay, I stumbled across it, realised I'd used it before and thought I'd share):

Graphic Designer
If you have a client who is unable to approve a proposed design without putting her stamp on it, just put an obvious error in the proposal: a logo that's too large, a font that's too small, or a few judiciously seeded typos. The client requests the change and feels she's done her part - and your design, which was perfect all along, sails through to approval.
I've done this for years but have never verbalized it. GREAT tip all around.
