haha  
I just ignore the people I work for until they come to me and tell me what they actually want.

I think he’s trying to say “I want you to make something original, but that is ugly. I’d rather plagiarize than use that.” I’d suggest giving him 3 sketches of layout ideas. Have him pick his favorite. Then make 3 more based upon that layout and have him pick again. Keep doing it until he’s like “Yes! Thats the site I want!”

He doesn’t like your stuff and he wants you to make something that looks like the site he sent. kk.

> something that looks like the site he sent

, or along the lines of the site he sent, but different enough from it so that he doesn’t feel he’s plagiarising.

Oh, I get that, but then he doesn’t want us to imitate the site… going to make a multiple choice questionnaire to send to clients from now on…
