Abstract

The posters and graphic information that were used to promote the Latin American Exhibition of Seville and the World Exhibition of Barcelona in 1929 historically represent the first strategic plan of communication in which a Spanish government tried to create, although still in a rudimentary form, what nowadays is defined as ‘country-brand’ strategy. Despite taking place in a very conservative official context, control was not strict in the field of graphic design; thus, highly traditional exhibits coexisted with expressions of great aesthetic modernity.
