So part of my job is to do wireframing, sketches, and otherwise figuring out all the ways to describe and show an idea to people. Now, for me, this is pretty much layouts for web pages. There are only so many ways to show the layout of a page - but sometimes one needs to get the idea of how the user is going to see the page, and use it. That is when some kind of other graphic can come into play. Explaining abstract and potentially confusing ideas can be difficult, but with the right graphic tool, it's possible to properly describe the problem with a minimum of difficulty.

As you can see from the linked page, there exists a large selection of styles we can use. The hard part, is choosing not only which one to use, but whether it even makes sense to use one.
My company does a lot of presentations, and those presentations have a lot of these types of graphic representations in them.
And I'll leave it at that
