You did a great job explaining what QRG's are meant for. I feel I had a bit of a problem trying to explain it myself. I do think imagery or visuals are also used to provide a picture to the reader. Sometimes a picture says a thousand words better than the author is trying to say.
ReplyDeleteI agree that images help engage the reader and that a QRG helps audiences that have a need to understand the topic. I also feel they are intended for audiences who don't know anything about the topic and want a single source to explain it to them.
ReplyDeleteI feel that you have gotten the basic idea. Keep up the good work!
