Graphic design occupations

Why you have chosen this article to evaluate?
I chose this article because it relates to graphic design. I was also curious what jobs would be listed under this topic as someone wanting to go into the graphic design field.

Evaluate the article
The lead section does have an introductory sentence, but it is not very helpful. It feels very repetitive to list some of the occupations in the intro sentence and then go right into listing all of them. I think a more general/ broad lead sentence would be more helpful in this case. Maybe a brief sentence on what graphic design is and what kinds of things graphic designers do in the job to start out and then I feel it would make sense to start listing occupations. Most of the content is relevant, but a lot of it seems a little far fetched or not super related to graphic design occupations. The occupations listed don’t really seem like specific jobs, they seem very broad. For example, Design Manager. Yes, I am sure that job exists but telling us this without any explanation feels pretty meaningless since there are a lot of different ways you can be a Design Manager. This page lacks specifics. I would say this is a neutral page. I don’t see any major red flags when it comes to neutrality. There does not seem to be any obvious biases shown in this article. The sources need some work. There are very few references in the sections about the job descriptions which leads me to wonder where all the information came from. The article is broken into sections, which makes it easier to read, but some sections are not as great as others. Some sections are written rather poorly. There is also one section that is bolded more than the rest which makes me wonder if that was a mistake or if the author was trying to make that section seem more important? There are no images on this page, which is one thing that could be improved. Maybe adding some graphic design work that people have done at their graphic design jobs would be helpful for making the page more interesting to read. The talk page has two comments, both of which go over some of what I mentioned about missing sources and relevancy of the topic. To improve this article, the author could add more specifics about the jobs and get away from very general job descriptions. They could add images and just go over it a few more times to catch any of those little grammatical errors.
