Hi Jeff!
This seems to be similar to what Ubuntu Studio [1] is doing, Nice to 
have more alternatives, even though I guess it's still a bit of a niche 
market.
For a graphics designer GIMP, Inkscape and Scribus are the killer apps, 
so make sure to include those!
Perhaps some nice web-devel tools would be nice as well, like NVU (is 
that still alive?) and Firefox with firebug installed by default.
One thing that would probably be cool to put on a cd is a collection of 
good, free fonts (open font license, public domain stuff or whatever) 
that a designer can use right out of the box.
