yeah i have always had mixed feelings about them..
sometimes they make me cheer, then cry..
at least they know how to get their audience emotional about it, hehe.

their work has been downhill for years... they must be stuck in a rut or something... cuz the stuff they were doing in the late 90s still looks the freshest (compared to anything they are doing these days).
imo

They definately walk the fine line between art and design a lot of the time. A few years ago John Warwicker was into drawing really detailed pictures of clouds. When I saw him talk at he weekend he said he's really into doing drawings of his tv while he's watching it. Somehow I think he'd rather be drawing than designing!

Man, this is pretty sad. Who would you consider the forefront design house today? I know it's only one person, but I think Yugop continues to push the limits..

I think the internet has boomed everything so much and companies are so diverse it is impossible to say....
everyone has their value.
