@William Overington Is it time to post the answers yet please? I have been asked by my wife to leave the answers in here until Thursday morning this week as the Quiz is live at an all day event the club on Wednesday attended by people from near and far
-
@Alfred wrote I've never known number 15 to be referred to as anything other than Pete........Correct...........Peter Murray James, OBE.....Correct. Nor me Alfred The running theme is obviously people with a forename of either Peter or Pete which gives away half of the answer. Would you like the answers?
-
Yes you are correct @Alfred He is as you say Russian and his name is Pyotr (Peter in English) Ilyich Tchaikovsky. Cannot make them all too easy there would be no point to a quiz otherwise. I did not know 5 even though I recognised the character he was famous for playing and 13 myself
-
So Alfred what's the running theme? How many have you recognised. Bearing in mind this is a team game and you are coming at this on your own, so you do not have others to pool their knowledge with you. That aside what did you think of the presentation overall for a picture quiz?
-
I create most of the Quizzes for my local bowls club and I always l try to make the half time break quiz a bit different. Most of the time I just hash a picture quiz together with no shape of form but I thought of this design for the latest picture quiz. the 16 Box layout and numbers created in Designer. The rest of the work in Photo. I usually just pick images at random but sometimes with a theme. This one has a theme which once guessed makes the quiz even easier.

Once again thank you everybody for your comments for which I am most grateful. @GarryP wrote the green ‘music icon’ just above the scroll has a box around it. Yes and I only noticed it after you pointed it out. Is weird though It is a copy and pasted of the black png from the lower down as are all of the other musical notes within the heart shape. All I have done is rescaled them and given them a flood fill. The only way it would of been possible to eradicate this was to mask it out or use the erase tool. I have not been able to replicate this bounding box That said the best laid plans can sometimes go awry. The tickets where printed at the club by a volunteer and cut up to go on sale this evening. Only for me to receive a call this afternoon to say that page one had been printed 12 times instead of all pages being printed. This obviously resulted in page one numbers 1-9 was printed 12 times ha ha. So with the office now being closed with no access to the PC or colour laser until Monday I created a small box and power duplicated this 100 times onto a sheet of A4 then enter the numbers 1-100. I printed this out on my B&W laser, my wife then went over the club and with the help of the steward cut these up and stuck them on the ticket number entry in time to be on sale this evening as scheduled. ( Note...we have a lucky program draw during the break)

That's Gary Jay, another Elvis impersonator. Sorry @William Overington
-
A5 flier, all done in Designer and Photo apart from the 5 star logo and Chef along with Gary's image. Colour laser printed (20 A5's for double sided Perspex table flier holders)(3 A4's for notice boards) (1 A5 emailed as an attachment to the membership)
-
I have a 10 page document all of which are set to portrait. I would like to make one of these pages landscape. Is this possible in Publisher please? if so where do I find it. Update sorted. Cheers John

Thanks to everybody for the comments for which I always welcome, most of which I have taken on board and made alteration to the ticket template. I have now, forgot to use the alignment tool before inputting the text Played around with the Kerning and appears much nicer now. Listening to people in McDonalds and my local chippy it always seems to me people say fish "n or Burger "n. I cannot believe the "n" usage would prove controversial No it is the performer Gary King. I sought his permission before using. William these are but mere tickets. The dietary requirements are on an A5 table top flier along with an attachment to an email to all members, with A4's on the two noticeboards. There is also a permanent statement that all dietary requirements would be met at all functions on the clubhouse menu blackboard. Which you would not of been aware of.

Latest ticket template 9.4x 6.6cm. everything created in Designer apart from Elvis image and creating the page numbering in and printing from publisher. Size is designed to give me an n-up print of 9 to an A4 page on a colour laser.

@GarryP that's brilliant, I followed your instruction's to the letter. I had tried this to no avail but I had neglected/missed to select the stroke . Many thanks John

@AffinityJulesThat's a great clue ha ha
-
@William Overington Its classified an an iconic Grade II* listed, legendary London landmark. Would not normally give out clues but here we go........It was sold in November 1996 for £400 million. November 2008, Chelsea F.C. was reported to be considering moving to a new purpose built 65,000 and 75,000 fan stadium. Two new underground stations, were opened on 20 September 2021. The construction cost £1.1 billion and is 3 km (1.9 mi) long. The developers provided £270m towards the construction of the extension. One of which is the last leg of one of the Northern line legs Hope these clues have opened up other areas of you knowledge and helps

@PaulEC Well presented. You put it into words better than could of. Thank you
-
@William Overington as regards your suggestion a producing a version with more letters as this IMHO would make the quiz too easy. You are looking at this from an individual viewpoint whereas the Quiz night will consist of at least six members per team of varying ages so they will have the opportunity to pool their knowledge. With your reference to Mastermind, If I were asked a question about Eastenders I would probably struggle with it. Apart from the square where it is set and ome of the early characters along with the pub name etc which are just things that I have picked up over the years and are stored away in some sort of distant box in my brain/memory. I have taken onboard your observation about the "Quiz team name". Sadly this was an oversight from me when I created the page I had to find somewhere to put it after I had finished the quiz. I have swapped FILM and SPORT around to try and avoid confusion even more I am most grateful for your input. Cheers John
-
Must try harder @William Overington 😁
-
Elaboration on this one I have altered the wording to Famous London Landmark if that helps.

@Alfred Thanks for the feedback, now rectified, thanks for being the first proof reader. In answer to your question "why Photo". I've been using Serif products since the early 90's with PagePlus being my most used. With the introduction of Affinity Photo I was determined to understand what I could do with this new program. I created this file simply because I had just finished work on an image and the program was still open when I started to enact my thoughts on the next quiz. Just by the by did you answer any of the questions. if so were they reasonably easy? Cheers John

renaming asset category

This is a paper quiz round based on the Wheel of fortune a British television game show for the next quiz night at my local indoor bowls club. Everything done in Aphoto apart from the border around the letters and blanks.
-
I have several asset categories installed in APhoto with a couple of them the option to rename is greyed out. Why should this be? Can I alter the state of it so I can rename the asset categories. Cheers John
-
Thank you everybody for your comments some of which I may take on board, especially the @firstdefence order of play sheet. Thank you all once again. Cheers John
-
yes you are correct but that was for a future event. The Brochure's primary intention was to be placed on the tables as a guide to the event on the night. (With hopefully a discreet rub about mobile phone usage as there had been comments from members about this before)
