“The biggest challenge is probably the level of detail in which to go into a given subject. Depending on your audience you can range from trying to create an incredibly detailed piece for experts to spend a long time digging into, or a more casual audience which needs information presented in as clear a way as possible to convey the message in a short amount of time. Balancing these is something I have to look at on every graphic I produce.”
