What Gimp cannot do
Gimp lacks some simple functions like adding pillars, shapes and other little graphics that you might need.
Therefor you have to use programs like xara, scribus, dia or openoffice draw. They can easily installed e.g. with ubuntu out of the box( or use automatix2).
Each of this program is designed for publishing, so they will produce letter size output, e.g. for letters or catalogs. Each of them uses its own file storage format.
That's why you have to use the import features to use your gimp edited e.g. png graphic and the export feature to get a png picture again.
