Really though, there's some decent work in there.
BUT, i really think it would be interesting to study all of their pieces for 10 minutes and and mix them up and try to place individual pieces into the correct campaigns/clients, everything looks so similar that i'd bet even their interns couldn't do it.
you know, like a game.
ah well, i'll add them to the list of 1472 firms i'll use if i ever need anything set in large helvetica, in one color, on a swiss grid...

"yawn...
do they sell any typefaces besides helvetica/ ak. grotesk in northern europe?
also do they have colors there?

(Mar 14 05, 10:35)"well, that the whole point of exp.jetset.
you better read a bit about them and you will understand.
you don't need to like it though.
but still, i hate it when people simply jump to conclusions..

The reason Jetset's work resonates with me is not because its "Helvetica on a Swiss grid", but the conceptual level on which they create their projects. Their form doesn't hinder their ideas, instead, it makes them more potent. Good job Dutch people.

'Swiss grid' is that any different to a normal grid.
- _smk0
it's in 6 dimensions. And it breaks if you use serifs.
Great work.
Damn Dutch b'stards...

Yeah, 'Swiss Gird' - what tha?
Oh and... same place (Amsterdam), total lack of Sans Serifs... http://www.blammo.nl/parra/

Yeah... 'Northern Europe' - yer covering a lot of ground there mate. I think yer USA is showing. :)
- rabattski0
well well, don't get cocky there bunkum :) yes it's a wee bit generalizing but i for one can't mention all the us states so i don't expect a yank to know all european countries etc.
- Bunkum0
I'm Australian, so there's no excuse... and yes, slightly too cocky... okay, just too cocky... a bit of a cock really. :)

i'd say minimalism is a cross continent thing. not just something northern european. it's not only cross continent. i'd say it's cross galaxy. those aliens seem to have a taste for minimalism as well + a lack of colours.

i believe that's helvetica and univers, not AG, right? maybe i missed it. anyway, nice work!
