Don't You Get It...

Recently, I have done some freelance design for another ministry . Specifically, I have been working with them to design the staging and set for their upcoming conference. At the beginning of this project I was encouraged to think out of the box, to bring them a design that would help people feel "engaged." I spent a lot of time designing what I thought met their expectations. When I brought the idea to the table they just didn't get it. I was extremely confused.
I thought man my idea must be bad. After thinking about this situation I learned an important lesson.

Just because someone else doesn't like your creative idea, doesn't mean it's bad.

Any creative types out there that can relate? How do you handle critique?
