Designer myself.
It very often helps to visually communicate this as a draft. That means: show them a drawing, or a nice rendering with Copic markers – even if you designed on the computer.
When they see some cleanly designed draft printed out (or worse: on the screen), most people cannot see that it is a draft, even if you tell them.
I firmly believe that communicating the right thing in a strategic way to the customer giving them what they need and making them realize that they want it, is what seperates a good designer from a bad one.
Another way than actually drawing is to give them many drafts, so they focus on the differences. This however depends on the job (sometimes multiple drafts are not a thing you can afford time wise).
