In the graphic design field, it' normal professional practice to present
three design direction to the client before choosing to go forward with
one.

While there are legitimate constraints -- time, budget, etc. -- I've
always thought it odd that the UX professions haven't followed a similar
approach. If nothing else, it forces you broaden your thinking about the
problem at hand.

And I suspect we'd discover that much like graphic design, ideas from one
potential solution can often be cross-fertilized with ideas from another
solution.
