It's A School Night -- Summer School Music & Art Workshops (LA)

 

 

Some pretty cool, really well designed flyers for Summer School at the Ace Hotel in Los Angeles.

LACMA's 2011 Art Walk Poster

If you're around Los Angeles today, be sure to check out the art walk today around LACMA, the Architecture Museum, and the Automotive museum, among others -- admission is free.   Designed by Studio Fuse based in Pasadena.

Abbot Kinney Festival Posters

While the newest posters for Abbot Kinney Festival in Venice, California are clearly the best of the posters so far, they certainly are the most simple.  Simplicity is beautiful, isn't it.

Renegade Craft Fair Posters

Some cool flyers for past and upcoming Renegade Craft Fairs around the country.  They've clearly stepped it up for the most recent holidays fairs, which share a pretty neat theme as well.

2010 NXNE Poster Show

North by Northeast (NXNE) is a Film, Music and Art Festival in Toronto, and apparently their have their own poster show as well, running from June 14 till June 20.  If you're around the area in Canada I'd check this out.  The design credits go to Toronto illustrator Roxanne Ignatius, who also has some other cool posters on her site.

Greece Design Walk 2010

Beautiful flyers, posters, and maps for the festival.

This year's Design Walk in Greece looks inspirational and impressive, and the posters and flyers convey the same message.



Here's a preview of some sample work from Design Walk 2010:

Andy Gilmore - new art and flyer designs

New stained-glass looking flyer for the Contemporary Graphic Art Fair at the Somerset House.
Different from what we're used to from Andy Gilmore, but still very sweet.
It scales down in size nicely.

Here's another flyer you might not expect from Mr. Gilmore.

And here's what the internet today knows the man for:  beautifully colored geometric patterns.

 

Don't forget to check out Andy's new 2010 designs on his Flickr.

Apparently his works from last year were so popular, they made the awesomest puzzle out of one of his designs.  Sadly, they were only produced in a very limited edition of 10.

He's designed some covers and illustrations for several publications as well.  Here's a bit of that big-time eye candy for you:

High-Speed Walkthrough of Flatstock 24 by the talented Kevin Tong

Some booths, like F2 Design were letting people letterpress their own posters!  Icing on the cake for Flatstock. You can catch some of it in Kevin Tong's video above.

In case you didn't know about the huge gig poster festival (Flatstock) they have at South by Southwest (SXSW), here's some coverage from around the web to enjoy.  I'm really making it a point to attend the next one:  theres so many talented poster designers, artists, and printers with so many gig posters, screen prints, letterpress prints...you name it, it seems to be there.  Special thanks for Printeresting's first-hand coverage of it -- really neat stuff.
