 * Question. Three claims for Rocholl are made above. I took the first of these: Creation of the global visual communication concept for the smart car. I then looked in the article for the string "smart". All that I found was: From 1996 to 1997 he worked as a creative director for the design agency Meiré und Meiré, in charge of implementing the corporate design of the Smart Car. This is not sourced. Where does Smart, Daimler or an independent source say this? (And if a "global visual communication concept" matters, what does it mean? The notion sounds vaguely Frankfurtian to me.) If there's no good source for a claim, the claim is worthless. -- Hoary (talk) 23:11, 20 January 2014 (UTC)

These two sources about his Mirage Magazine work are secondary: http://www.itsnicethat.com/articles/publication-mirage-1 "The best part of this magazine as well as the truly, truly fantastic graphic design, is that whilst it is predominantly filled with photos of half naked women, there is an air of respect present that is so rare in magazines of this ilk.".
