2010 SXSW Film Poster Awards

In all Flyer Goodness honesty, the announced winners for the 2010 SXSW Film Poster Awards were somewhat of a let down, but what really stood out was the runner up prize, Brussels designer Gilles Vranckx's poster for the gritty "Amer" which won the Special Jury Award:

Finalist of the SXSW Film Award for Title Design is Gaspar Noe's Enter the Void.

Personally I enjoy the depth to the French version of the poster:

Check out the award-winning opening title animation below:

Also noteworthy is another finalist to the Title Design award, Hello Lonesome by Mr. Wonderful,
who also re-designed the opening credits to the Colbert Report

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.
