I thought this was interesting. I went to the site “Dear American Airlines” and they actually responded to this post about their web page. It is just sad to see amazing designers work for companies but the ladder of co-workers and other authorities destroy their creative outcomes. Please leave the designing up to the designers. We don’t want to see “Jon’s” (“the CFO”) cloud picture from the American Airlines Aircraft on the front page!!!
I spent a couple hours redesigning your front page. This is what I settled on. It’s just a small start. Imagine what you could do with a full, totally competent design team.

My thoughts exactly. If I had a dollar for each the client takes it upon him/her-self to design, I’d be employing them. They need to understand, they hired the agency for a reason. The client has, to some degree, a right to dictate how the design is like, but not totally rubbishing the agency’s input. That just you wasting your money on asking to give you shitty designs (and we won’t event put them in our portfolio. pfft)
