Saleel,

Thank you for adding this to the project board. I created a * very draft * 
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Artwork/Specs/Request-7 spec on the wiki  for your
consideration.

IMO the artist will want to know the theme, palette, and things such as
image size and file format. The other important item is aspect ratio. 

I am assuming you want one image for all use cases.

I would leave the other design choices open as you may be pleasantly
surprised by the creativity of the submissions.

Thoughts?

John
