[ubuntu-art] Kubuntu.org look - really not a feast for the eyes

I think the articles should be made by the doc team hand in hand with the
artwork team. Web pages are not documentation, the visual appearance is as
important as the content (IMO). Furthermore, the visual style and content
cannot be made separately, because it complements one another (at least
here, in a visual presentation of a product).

Specific things that come to my mind when I look at the page:

If I compare ubuntu,kubuntu,edubuntu and xubuntu web pages, xu,edu and
ubuntu pages have a main page fully for the introduction to the
distribution. Xu, edu and ubuntu do all have a "Related projects" box.
Kubuntu does not. (OK, that's more about the content of the page.)

The "konqis"  image is in my opinion completely redundant. It looks more
like an image from a fairy tale, not from a professional Linux distribution.
Maybe a screenshot on the main page would be more informative?

I think the titles and all font sizes could be adjusted to make the page
more structrured. The number of visual elements is very small ( no coloured
wrappers for content, titles as images etc.) , the white space looks more
"empty" to me.
