Quote - ... if you want to kill your creativity, get a client. Some people can do it, didn't always work for me.

The scariest statement I've ever heard but I know what you mean. That's the downside to make art for other people.  It's what they want to create and not what you want to create.  Website design is very similar to that. I've made some really dull looking websites for clients all because that's the way they wanted the site the look.
