no I really meant the web design job: deciding how all information
and interaction is gong to be represented on the page, how the
layout handle fluid conditions of resizing browser width and
browser font resizing. all the typography and readability.
that combined with the 'master' visual design from which
all the pages will be produced, at which point all the images
for a site will be produced (which is where GIMP comes in).

yep, one or more 'cutting masks' would be part of the file,
because the (perhaps overlapping) rectangles where to cut
are gonna be different for every file.
