This study is centered around the concept of new technologies and media to enhance the static nature of traditional bullfight posters. Handles technologies as augmented reality, animations and the internet to achieve new interactive and dynamic ways to engage aesthetics and convey information. The results indicate that the use of animation dynamically changes the poster layout elements and informations captivating the viewer as well as changing the poster message. The changes can be viewed by anyone using a smartphone and with the help of augmented reality app, such as Artivive.
