Option 1

 * Article title
 * Margaret Casson


 * Article Evaluation
 * Article is basic in content -- has some useful and informative information, but lacks details and explanations. Basic overview of her life. Flow of the article is also disrupted by short sentences that don't seem to fully compliment each other in subject matter. Could be better written by including wider range of sentence structures with more detailed information on her life.
 * Article is written in a neutral stance, and has relevant and reliable citations.

Option 2

 * Article title
 * Hugh Casson


 * Article Evaluation
 * Decently well written article, with useful information on his life and works. Some sections of his work and life could be elaborated and researched more into, as they seem very brief. Could do more research and write more on his family life as it doesn't mention who he was married to (Margaret Casson ^^). More could also be written on his childhood and his growing up, as article jumps straight into his work and the different jobs he took on.
 * Neutrally written, with some good citations -- others not sure if they're that reliable.

Option 3

 * Article title
 * Eero Aarnio


 * Article Evaluation
 * Basic article content. Could use more various language techniques, as gets slightly repetitive over time. Again could talk more on his childhood and how he grew up, and could also reference/elaborate more of his important works since he was a big figure in the 1960s pop culture.
 * Maybe create more sub-sections e.g. one for his different works, to be able to more easily locate relevant information.
 * Neutral stance, but could use more citations.

Option 4

 * Article title
 * Memphis Group


 * Article Evaluation
 * Basic information -- could be elaborated. More background information on how the group came to form and who the different members were. Could mention their relevance during postmodernism more and the objective behind their works/furnitures. More information on their disbanding and the process to when that happened.
 * Sentences should be re-written to flow better.
 * Neutral stance, but could use more relevant citations.

Option 5

 * Article title
 * Nathalie Du Pasquier


 * Article Evaluation
 * Decently well written article -- More detail on her childhood and where she grew up. Could include information on her education background that lead her to meeting the other members of the Memphis Group. Discuss the influence she had over design and the reactions other people had about her works and projects.
 * Could talk about how she reacted or the direction she headed toward after the Memphis Group disbanded -- how did she end up in Milan, Italy, and how does her work now differ to what they had produced.
 * Neutrally written, ok citations.
