This study, using advertisements that appear in Utusan Melayu / Malaysia in August and September commencing in 1957 until 2007. This study is a qualitative study using the method of document analysis. The visual evaluations will be applied in interview with an expert in advertising. The results show that there is a link between the visual framing of National Day advertisement with socioeconomic status, current political context, and the diversity of religious and racial communities.
