I respectfully disagree with you on Barnett Newman and other artists that basically comes up and to Basquiat and Keith Haring (graffiti art to put it at its most basic term). There was a movement amongst abstract expressionists (and Cubists, to a degree) to break down the norms of "Painting" or "Art" and culminating with single canvases of one color. Is it monumental? That depends on your judgement, but in the context of art history they did it FIRST. Same goes for Warhol. When art has been broken down to Rothko canvases or Pollock drip paintings (any drips AFTER Pollock is just copycat), what's left? Elevate the everyday and mundane objects such as Brillo boxes and Campbell soup cans and objectify them as art. I also like to think that with certain pieces by modern era artists that in private conversations they were possibly laughing up their sleeves. Duchamp putting a urinal on a pedestal at an exhibition comes to mind. So too the piece from Beeple. Absolutely nothing ground-breaking in regards to originality or even some sort of remarkable creativity. BUT whomever posted it and sold it was or seemingly IS the first person to do that. I'd be laughing all the way to the bank at the person crazy enough to pay that amount for something not even tangible, much less original.
And also keep in mind, just because some cash-crazy individuals with gobs of money to burn purchase new or old art, doesn't mean that the work is elevated just because of an auction house price tag. Don't confuse scarcity of "product" and "Status-Greed" with actual worth. Case in point, there are collectors the world over who have bought vintage guitars at outrageous prices and locked them away in a vault, purely as an investment. Scarcity of some instruments, such as a 50s Gold Top Les Paul, DO bump up the value and price, but think about this: some of those vintage instruments sound terrible. Also when musicians can bring forth beautiful music (whatever floats your boat) out of a Stradivarius, a Steinway, or a Gibson, and those said instruments are relegated to collectable objects, then I believe the worth is diminished. They become items locked away and never to be touched or heard.
Art is very subjective and we each have likes and dislikes. I love the talent of Bob Ross and the inspiration he brought to so many in the simplest way. I think he could have stopped when his paintings were about 85% finished and not pushed them over the top with ONE MORE TREE. . . but I digress. In my teenage years, my mind was set that everything after the Renaissance was nothing. Studying and learning about art history is a powerful thing. It also disclosed that many of the Renaissance work was technically commercial in that the very rich or the church commissioned them.
Reminds me of the One Foot in the Grave episode with the bird poop painting.

That's the case with the vast majority of modern "art", I wouldn't hang it in my loo. The rubbish gets the attention and seemingly the money but there are still artists out there with artistic talent too.
But at least a bit of effort went in to it unlike the people who painted a canvas a one or two colours like Robert Ryman, Barnett Newman and Mark Rothko and made millions.
Yes, I wish I had the talent that you creatives possess. I'm a poet, not really an artist. I could never really get the hang of vector art. You guys are phenomenal.

Also consider Only Office for a more MS Office like fork of LibreOffice.

To avoid contravening the BBC's Doctor Who Fan Art rules, I designed a Doctor Who logo for my own use. Retrospectively, it harks back to the diamond logo buy with bolder lettering more reminiscent of the Pertwee and McGann days (but not the same font). I decided to try and incorporate the regeneration effect into the lettering by the use of fire imagery and adding an outer glow.
This was all done using Publisher and Designer.
I will use this final version for the final poster design.

Well, the GPU driver is latest. Although the hardware is old. Intel HD 4000 onboard graphics. OpenCL is not supported.

Thanks Walt. It looks like a graphics diriver / hardware issue.

I've not been able to replicate your crash on Windows or Mac when exporting to SVG using 'Selection Area' on the table, this has produced a successful export (attached).
Your crash report potentially indicates a rendering issue (Crashed on Libraster.dll) Could you initially try disabling Hardware Acceleration and ensure your GPU drivers are up to date?
Thank you for your response. My drivers are up-to-date, and Hardware Acceleration is not enabled due to it not being supported on this Intel Graphics 4000 HD chipset.
The export worked here too. This is very much a background crash and the app seems to work okay.
-
This is a little weird, but exporting a table as an SVG is producing a crash dump. Although the app itself seems stable, and it doesn't affect closing the app successfully.
Package included
Try exporting the selection area only as SVG.
Publisher dump file included.

This is a different crash though,
It seems to be related to exporting a table as SVG.

Unfortunately, that leaves me none the wiser. I don't know what thread 0 libraster was trying to do,.

Sons of God?
Sons of the West?
Just two that spring to mind.
I understood that it might have been expressed as some kind of insult but I was willing to give the OP the benefit of the doubt and, maybe, make some kind of retraction if they wanted to.Sons of Belial is probably the parallel here. Although Sons of Adobe, probably refers to following in the methods of Adobe.

So, as part of a timelapse video I'm making for YT, I went back and redid this image. This time with some custom assets and a wider aspect ratio. I like this one better.
The force is strong with this one. Great Job.

A very impressive design. Beautifully done.

After playing with the TARDIS acronym, I developed a magic square style layout with the word TARDIS written bidirectionally on the outside of the square. Then using Affinity Publisher I created a table with eh letters written into each cell. I chose an illustrated caps font and saved the finished product as an SVG. This I later imported into Publisher and using an upscaled image of a wormhole from Pixabay as a background, I placed the word square with a white square behind it onto the page. I added a shadow to the white square and ran the auto levels on the background in studio link Photo persona. This was done on an A0 size document. Rotating the square slightly in an anticlockwise fashion seemed to give it a subtle artistic flair.
Then using the rescale option in Publisher I created subsequently smaller versions A1, A2 and A3.
The resultant landscape poster is shown in JPG form. This is A3 size.
This reduced viewed version created in Photo.
I would definitely have this on my wall.
I have ordered the A2 poster version from Vistaprint. Looking forward to seeing the final product.
This has a new logo to avoid breaching any BBC logo creation rules.

From all the evidence so far, it would appear that it is related to the .net 4.8 libraries, as a recent update temporarily stopped the crash. After a number of app uses, the problem returned.
Still an odd crash report which is produced when the apps do not crash.
-
Ran a simple debug on the publisher.exe, designer.exe and photo.exe processes.
This might shed some light on the issue or not.
The zip file contains the debug text files.
I simply opened and closed each application to produce the debug information.

Though I think that DLL (libcrashpad.dll) is/or may be always loaded and needed in order to write out a crash dump at all, in cases when one happens. - However you may check and search via regedit etc. if some "Affinity app" registry entry setting like "SimulateCrash" or the like exists at all. Does it happen just for one app?
Or look (search/scan) through Affinity app related settings files, if there is somehow a setting like this which might be enabled here.
It's all three Affinity Apps I'm afraid. Although there was a temporary lull after updating .NET from Microsoft. It is very curious. That SimulateCrash reference may be misleading, but it is an odd reference in the dump files.

My go-to tool for chasing down BSOD events is WhoCrashed:
This is regarding an app crash dump. Not a BSOD type.
Curiously, I think it isn't actually crashing, but is simply sending out a simulated crash dump for some reason. Maybe a testing option is being triggered. The app appears to work fine.

I ran Windbg on the crash and found this interesting key in the file.

Ah, yes. The ambiguity of language.
"A Poster Design Inspired by the TV series Doctor Who", would have been clearer.
