My boss keeps changing the requirements. How can I get him to make up his mind?

I am a fresh graduate who started working as a Graphics Designer.

My boss gave me a task to create a design from various references. As I do the job, I consult with him and report my progress so that the design I create matches with what he envisioned.

However, when I complete my design, he gets inspired by something, and says, "Ok, let's try a new idea." This is a completely different idea with different references.

I understand that we should choose the final design from a set of multiple designs, but this has gone too far! I have created different versions of the same website about 20 times now. I cannot do it any more or my mind will blow!

How can I approach my boss and ask him to make up his mind?

Setup a meeting with your manager to discuss your concerns.

Your boss may not realize your frustration with the repeated rejections and redesign requests until you tell him. For all you know, he could be assuming that you are excited about the opportunity to try out so many different ideas!

Your boss needs to be aware of the risk of your work getting affected due to the frustration well in advance. In general, you should raise any issues to your manager well in time when they can still be solved. You shouldn't leave it so late that the manager asks, "why didn't you tell me earlier?"

Be aware though that your work done for your employer belongs to them, and you get paid for doing it. If your boss insists on continuing the redesign another 1000 times, you do not have too many options besides either complying with the request or quitting the job. Asking your boss to "make up his mind" or telling him that "your mind will blow" when all he has asked you to do is the job you were hired to do may not end up well for you.
