About Jet Set Radio

Jet Set Radio is Smilebit's 2000 Dreamcast game about inline-skating crews tagging the streets of Tokyo-to while a pirate DJ called Professor K keeps the broadcast going. Its cel-shaded look, with flat colour, thick outlines and hard shadow steps, made the technique famous.

This system takes the box-art collage as its ground: pale mint, a green-and-yellow tag outlined in deep green, an orange burst, cobalt sky. Everything is tilted, stickered and moving.
