I agree that it is not easy to follow the threads on the topics you 
mention, but from our experience with the OOo Art project and even more 
the Branding Initiative there are important topics to be shared between 
the "general marketing" guys and the "designers/artist" working on 
branding and visual design.

Perhaps it could be a compromise to add dedicated [TAG]s to the subject 
of artwork, UX and design related topics, so they can be found very 
easily while not leaving the marketing list.

I'd propose to use the tag [DESIGN], as it covers not only artwork, 
branding and visual design, but usability design and UI design too.

If this tag is not sufficient to differ these topics from general 
marketing, we should definitely ask for a dedicated list (and consistent 
with the tag I'd call it design@libreoffice.org - what actually has been 
Christoph's idea I present now shamelessly)

Best regards

Bernhard
