ADG-FAD is Spain's largest and longest-standing association of graphic design professionals. Founded in 1961, it was created with a clear mission: to gain recognition for a discipline that is fundamental to the fields of advertising and communication, and to establish its own identity, distinct from art and traditional illustration.
As a private non-profit organisation, ADG-FAD represents a broad spectrum of professionals, studios, agencies, schools and companies throughout Spain dedicated to graphic design and visual communication.

Their ability to adapt to constant changes in the profession, the industry and the social context reinforces their leadership and relevance, reaffirming ADG-FAD's commitment to talent and the future of graphic design.
