General History

A promotional graphic for the HistoryExtra Daily Quiz. The image combines several historical scenes, including the entrance to Hampton Court Palace, a section of the Bayeux Tapestry showing the battle of Hastings, and a black-and-white photograph of a woman working in a wartime factory. Bright, semi-transparent blocks of colour and large question marks overlay the collage, while the words "Daily Quiz" appear in bold white text in the bottom-left corner.
