Which article are you evaluating?
Gary Anderson (designer)

Why you have chosen this article to evaluate?
I chose this article because graphic design is very important to me. This article matters because of the content within and how it pertains to the history of graphic art as a whole. My impression of the article was very good, there was a healthy amount of info in it to unpack.

Evaluate the article
My overall impressions of the article was that it could use a little bit more work. This is primarily over it's content because it could use more info about the person and it could use more images to help convey what the article is trying to tell the reader about especially when it comes to graphic art. There are also a lot of links that do not work within the references leading to the possibility that the writer might have guessed or did not get the right sources while conducting research for the article.

The lead contains a brief summary of the artist and the big things that he accomplished during the course of his career. The first sentence of the lead summarizes who Gary Anderson is and what his occupation is. The lead does not contain information that is misleading to what the article is about. The lead is not too overly detailed but it gets straight to the main focus and point of the article. There is only one image for the entire article even thought it is about art. Considering this is about graphic art, it would probably be a good idea to have more pictures and maybe even a picture of Gary himself. The talk page of the article has nothing in it besides discussions of moving the article. The organization of the article is a bit weird and maybe could use a little bit more tidying up. The article goes from being about Gary's family to going into education and the workforce which can be good, but for the fact that it is about a person it could use some more info about Gary. As far as I can tell, the content might be up to date, but it is hard to tell because of the fact that a lot of reference links just do not work and lead error 404 pages and are just not found at all. The grammar of the article was overall very good and the content did come across as being biased in any way or form. To go a little bit more in depth on the talk page of the article, one user claims that the one image the article has was donated by Gary Anderson, which is very debatable and can come across as bias.

Overall the article could just use a little bit more information about Gary Anderson, there should be better references with links to back them up, and could use a little bit more imagery.
