Let's break down the key points:
1. Many successful graphic designers started with formal training, while others learned informally on the job.
2. No designer ever became successful who ignored the wishes of a client.
Let's look at the options:
(A) All graphic designers who are unsuccessful have ignored the wishes of a client.
No. The passage does not provide enough information about unsuccessful designers.
(B) Not all formally trained graphic designers ignore clients’ wishes.
We know some formally trained designers are successful, and to be successful, a designer must not ignore the wishes of a client. Therefore, there must be some formally trained designers who do not ignore clients' wishes
(C) The more attentive a graphic designer is to a client’s wishes, the more likely the designer is to be successful.
No info on correlation between the level of attentiveness and the likelihood of success.
(D) No graphic designers who learn their trade on the job will ignore clients’ wishes.
No. The passage does not state that all designers who learn on the job never ignore clients' wishes. Only successful once never ignore clients' wishes.
(E) The most successful graphic designers learn their trade on the job.
The passage does not compare the success rates of designers based on their training method.

If all of the statements above are true, which one of the following must also be true?
(A) All graphic designers who are unsuccessful have ignored the wishes of a client. - WRONG. Two problems - one that unsuccessful lot is not covered in the passage, so no certain claim can be made and second that it is a situation reversal that need not be true.
(B) Not all formally trained graphic designers ignore clients’ wishes. - CORRECT. A soft claim that is true. So, basically we have a lot of formally trained GDs among which some are successful. Since successful lot does not ignore the clients' wishes there are some formally trained GDs who don't ignore clients' wishes i.e. not all formally trained GDs ignore clients’ wishes.
(C) The more attentive a graphic designer is to a client’s wishes, the more likely the designer is to be successful. - WRONG. Two problem like A has - one that attentiveness is another parameter introduced in this choice that need not be true and second that even if a GD is more attentive ignoring, eventually, is a possibility, implying that this correlation is not true.
(D) No graphic designers who learn their trade on the job will ignore clients’ wishes. - WRONG. Scope shift from successful lot of GDs to only GDs.
(E) The most successful graphic designers learn their trade on the job - WRONG. There can be formally trained ones who might be most successful among all successful GDs.
B and C are good contenders for me.
Answer B.
