Any designer worth his salt is going to spend some time going through a discovery process with you. This is where he or she would find out exactly what you are thinking and then translate that to good design. You may think this ugly ass dog looks good, but I can promise pretty much no one else does, so you're doing your brand and yourself an injustice to pretend you're the expert, when you're obviously not. I am constantly baffled by designers and developers not understanding or appreciating each others craft.
