 Background wallpaper can be as simple as a 1024x768 or 1280x1024 or 1600x1200 jpeg or png.  Even better would be something in vector graphics form (svg or eps) which we could scale cleanly to different sizes.

-a splash screen shows up after a user logs in, while their session is starting up.  a simple png or jpeg sized at 420x300 should be fine, as would a vector illustration of roughly comparable aspect ratio.  Be aware that there will be little icons representing services that show up overlaid along the bottom of the image after login.

-this is the pretty picture that shows when a computer is first turned on, before the login screen comes up.  It usually should include some form of progress indicator and room for textual information.  The image must be a palettized 640x480 image with only 16 colors.  Furthermore, some of these colors will be used for output text, progress bar, and other trimmings.  more details on the format can be found [https://wiki.ubuntu.com/USplashCustomizationHowto here].

Getting one of these to look nice involves working under heavy constraints with the limited palette.
