A very simple start:

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.


Staying with the KISS principle:

Took the simple file, above, as the base, then adorning with graphical
element for the specific guide.

With the graphic would go where the sub-title is in the example.

Sound reasonable?

Alright - I see 4 guides that need covers.

Did not push the source files for the moment, but they are separate
files also.

Thanks it for now,


Thanks, Drew! Great start. BTW, Impress and Draw guides are coming
soon. ;-)

Comments:
(1) I like the icon-like symbols below the name of the guide, although
the one for Writer seems a bit lurid with the blue against the green
background. 

(2) I would prefer the name of the guide to be a lot larger, though
perhaps that's not necessary with the symbols. Will be interested to
hear others' reactions.

(3) I don't envision using these as title pages on individual published
chapters, but only on covers of compiled books. However, a lower-res
(and thus much smaller file size) version might work for chapters.

Yes - I thought about the lower res version for chapters - I would
generate each of the different graphics at say 90dpi and the the final
at same, and a much higher compression rate on the final. 

Something for the docs team to think about!

And here is a slight variation of the Writer Guide cover then, with an
eye to your comments:
