Notes : This poster exemplifies how regional festivals use bold colour coding and typographic hierarchy (performers highlighted in fluorescent boxes) to organise visual attention. Despite being located in an A Fala-speaking town, the promotional discourse is exclusively in Spanish, marking a tension between local linguistic identity and wider commercial reach. The QR code introduces a digital extension, merging physical and online promotional ecologies.

Symbols and stylized text
Gothic, graffiti, and rock-style fonts blur readability, turning words into visual identity markers.
Spanish provides functional local communication, while English (mainly in band names and festival branding) ties the event to the global rock subculture. The coexistence of both languages, plus visual stylization, reflects how music scenes operate in a transnational space where local identity and global culture merge.
Hashtags and website www.centenerarock.es show digital presence.

Translation Mode (TS) / Translation Mode (LL) : interlingual (Spanish ↔ A fala)

Notes : This sign is significant as it represents institutional recognition of Extremaduran, rarely used in official signage. However, the placement hierarchy (Spanish above, Extremaduran below) reproduces symbolic dominance. The absence of A Fala is striking given the town’s linguistic ecology, highlighting competing policies of visibility for minority languages.
