As a result, technical communication researchers have devoted much attention to the study of design and its elements. In fact, in her review of the literature from over 10 years ago, Portewig (2004) noted that the technical communication scholarship on design at the time argued, in part, that we should pay attention to visuals and visualization in order to respond to their ascendance and to teach our students how to expand their role from authors to
