The present study aims to analyze the visual complexity and graphic elements in the commercial signs of mixed traditional markets in Lima Sur to describe its graphic elements, identify the graphic characteristics that contribute to their visual complexity and explain what visual complexity communicates, in graphic design terms, when found on these commercial signs. The study used a qualitative approach, a descriptive cross-sectional design and a non-experimental style. The corpus, selected by non-probability and convenience sampling, consisted of 18 commercial signs belonging to the food category that were analyzed based on a descriptive analysis chart and the perspective from interviewed creative directors and graphic designers with experience on advertising design. The study concludes that most of the analyzed commercial signs are visually complex because they present an agglomerated and excessive combination of graphic elements, such as high color saturation, an excessive amount of words and photographs, lack of negative space, hierarchies and symmetry in the composition and, to a lesser extent, a high amount of colors and the indiscriminate use of contours in its typography. This graphic oversaturation indicates a poor handling of the traditional requirements of outdoor advertising design, as it conveys disorder and a lack of a clear visual communication strategy.
