I think not only do I as a creator, or designer looking at someone else's work, interpret faster, so does the client (source of the data). It's so important to step back and ask yourself what assumptions we're leaving unspoken. That goes for any design or visual messaging. We want to design without words, but are we then excluding viewers from getting the message. Message before aesthetics...always.

Thanks for writing this, yes you’re right I tend to assume the viewer will be as quick as I am to understand a visual! A good reminder that it’s usually not the case
