Ok - well, as usual - just to help prime the pump A very simple start: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/File:GettingStartedGuideFrontCoverSimple.png Note I dropped in a sub-title, in this case for Chapter 1. I did not use a very high compression setting on the PNG file, as this is for an example. Jean had asked for a GIMP compatible file and the wiki will not accept .xcf files, so wrapped that in a zip file, here: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/File:GettingStartedGuideFrontCoverSimple.zip As I say - it is quite simple.
