If a client chooses a bad design, the best method to follow is to give him an analysis of it and why it is bad. The client does not have the knowledge which the designer has, so it is the designer's responsibility to educate the client. And if the client insists on the bad design, it's the designer's decision to whether resume working with the client or not. At the end, the work created will be an addition to the designer's portfolio and may harm him more than the financial benefit.

The satisfaction of client should be the first thing in our mind. If he selected a bad design try to understand his mind and create accordingly. Of course it will be very disgusting for a designer if somebody reject the good piece of creation.

I agree with Mahmoud Hamam's statement and I'd like to add that sometimes "a bad design" is subject to taste. After all, that which one person finds beautiful may not appeal to another. If you absolutely feel uncomfortable with the clients choice, I would say communication is the best remedy.
