Welcome Andreas! It's really good to have people that have proper background in artwork.
There is something already you may want to look into! Sorry in advance if I dump too much information, too soon.. When you boot with a GNOME LiveCD, the very first screen shows a "Boot splash" image, such as http://planet.hellug.gr/misc/elliniko-gnome-final.PNG http://project77.info/gnomelive/ Now, how the first screen appears is quite important for first impressions in a marketing way, so the boot splash should look good. My suggestion would be to have a different boot splash for every release of the GNOME Live CD (happens every six months, next is around September). So, for each LiveCD release a new boot splash, one that will be similar across different languages (French, German, etc) of the LiveCD. To create such an image, see http://www.ubuntulinux.org/wiki/LiveCDCustomizationHowTo and specifically the section "Customizing the bootsplash". In that section there is a reference to an .SVGfile (http://planet.hellug.gr/misc/gnome-greek-logo.svg) which can be edited with programs like InkScape. This file has been used for a few LiveCDs already. Therefore, around September there will be a need for a new super fabulous boot splash. I am not sure if anyone wants to recommend working for a new boot splash for potential new LiveCDs based on Ubuntu 5.04.
