heh ok then
I mean the early Wallpapers were pretty good at predicting trends... now that Time/Warner has it I'm sure they will dictate them
But then you never know, the influence of Wallpaper may have worked as a superficial dictation device over time.
And then the ability to forcast based on trends and culture is needed to create branding and advertising.
I like his astetic for what it is, it's pretty classy. and it's not so complicated but in this case thats an asset.
A couple of logo's (Tai Ping and The Desk) I think were pretty bad but otherwise they work for their respective clients.
I would not say he's the best or the most progressive for that matter. But he's got talent and has some very nice work.
Honestly I never heard the guys name until it was mentioned in this thread (although I've read Wallpaper* before).
If by overrated you mean he's getting too much spotlight when there are so many other unheard of designers doing equal or better work... maybe I can see that.
