Rhetorical reasons for making diagrams

·

Here are some common rhetorical reasons for making diagrams and maps:

  • Reflection: Point to a future problem (e.g., a map of a local landfill’s size in the past, present, and projected future).
  • Options: Show something as it could be (e.g., a diagram showing paths a user could take to set up an application).
  • Improvements: Show something as it should be (e.g., a diagram pointing out opportunities found during user research).
  • Identification: Show something as it once was or is today (e.g., a map of your neighborhood).
  • Plan: Show something as it will be (e.g., a map of your neighborhood with bike lanes).
