I notice that the thread is tagged as affinity publisher. William

Oh! 😁

I am hoping to have a go later, I have been trying to think of a design. I have been influenced by the post by @AlanPickup > Admission £1 or free with this flyer So a lady who lives in the village turns up with her husband and their adult daughter, all of whom live at the same address where one flyer was flytipped delivered through the letterbox. How many get in free and how many have to pay £1? William

Can something like the white lettering on the filled black rectangle be a problem? Can text not parallel to the edge of the paper be a problem? I suppose that there can be consequential problems because the text about keeping a dog on a leash at all times is tiny and so if someone whose sight is not as good as it once was may not have been able to read that part. William

On the face of it, yes. But it is not as if it is a real fair in a real village and the people producing the designs are doing a trade job and are to print to the copy supplied by the customer. So that is why I asked. So changing the attractions is not the same as changing the number of attractions. If such changes are allowed then the scope for creative writing is made available and participants can either copy the original ones or add variety as they choose. William

Is it permitted to use different attractions as long as there are the same number? And a different village? And a different music group, as long as they start at 2pm? And can one devise one's own logos for one's own fictional social media? And can one add an asterisked paragraph about how many people can be admitted free with one flyer? 😁 Can people be asked politely to take their litter home with them? Though keeping to the following requirements. William

I have since written and published the chapter of my second novel in which the origin of !81812345679 is explained. It is Chapter 48. It is linked from another thread in the Share your work forum. Here is a link to that post. William

But do you know which locomotive played the role of The Titfield Thunderbolt? William

As that might mean a wall upon which only Origami Theater is displayed, do you include an artist's suggestion as to which colour to paint the wall? Whether you do or not, which colour of wall do you consider would be best to display the picture upon, or do you consider that is for the person who lives there to choose? William

For the avoidance of doubt, it is not official approval, I am not connected with Affinity other than as a customer and a participant in these forums. My post was simply my opinion of what is reasonable based on what I perceive as being the existing custom and practice. I opine that a link to your website that displays your pictures would be allowed. The Origami Theater picture is very colourful even as an electronic image on my computer. The full size physical print would be amazing. William

The title of this thread asks "Is there somewhere here to post a gallery show announcement?". If you post one of the images that you have produced using Affinity Photo in a Share your work thread and include text about the show and where it is being held, the fact of including an image that you have produced using Affinity Photo may well be regarded as sufficient evidence that the thread is a reasonable post for the Share your work forum.

Congratulations. William

As you wish. I'll hide answer so that those who wish to look and those who wish to consider the picture before looking can do so. William

Not necessarily. For example, what meanings are in this picture? Look closer and think about it please. William

Indeed. William

Not necessarily. This is a discussion forum so I opine that it is reasonable to ask if anyone noticed a meaning implied by the abstract shapes and if so, what meaning. All rectangles, one with each side of equal length so called a square, some sheared so each called a parallelogram. One of them superimposed on another one. Various colours, each colour chosen to try to imply a meaning based on a typical viewer's experiences in United Kingdom culture. That may often be true. So I am wondering if a meaning is self-evident to viewers of this picture. If so, what? Not necessarily. It is often the case that if one puts forward an idea and people read about it in, say, a Letter to the Editor of a magazine, and think it is good then they often make no comment. If they disagree is when they tend to reply. It could be that some people looked at my picture, smiled and thought 'Yes, it is (et cetera et cetera)' but did not post and say so. There is no reason why they needed to post, i'm not suggesting that they should have. So i don't know whether it has worked or not. I suppose it could be perceived as just some shapes drawn by someone who is not good enough at art to produce proper art. A good question to discuss. William

Oh I planned the picture so as to try to imply meaning to viewers using abstract shapes. More meaning than in the abstract shapes in this earlier picture. William

Oh I was not thinking in terms of a card on the wall explaining the picture, I was wondering if, from the picture itself, people saw in the picture the meanings that I was trying to convey. William

Readers might like to look at the picture and think of what I am trying to convey before looking at the explanation in this post. William

Oh dear! Anyone else like to comment, either on the content of the picture, or on ... er ... yes. William

I notice that no one has yet reviewed the content of the picture, to comment upon the meaning that is perceived. To explore how the minimalist information in the picture interacts with the typical viewer's experience of landscapes and cultural stereotypes to convey meaning. William
