An elegant option is to extend the makeup mechanism to accept the background key:
Another way to use a full-page image includes:

If you are looking for something fancy with graphics, bells, and whistles, this is not for you. However, if you are looking for a very simple cover page with simple code, then read on.

== Analysis of the code ==
These two commands together make a 6-centimeter blank on the top of the page:
And that's it, a very simple cover page. While it may be useful as such, it has several shortcomings. For example, the positions are not absolute, so a change in the title may move the information block in the lower right corner. Using the TABLE is just a show-off. If you do not need the "align-by-rightmost" alignment, <tt>\startnarrower[..][..] ... \stopnarrower</tt> provides much the same functionality with fewer commands and cleaner code.
