Hmm... For that I think you'd better delve into the fascinating world of TikZ (though I think memoir has something to change margins for a single page...). It also has an excellent manual, with tutorial included. In my tex file you can find a simple cover made with TikZ, but if you just want to put an image, it can be even simpler.

But I don't like the way the chapter names are shown. Also, the header "Content" has the same layout as the other chapters of the book. How can I make it different? (so, no spacing above the Content header, for example, and a smaller font for the chapter names?)
You can change the layout of the contents, of course. For the header, define a new chapter style, use \chapterstyle{new} before \tableofcontents and then \chapterstyle{simple} after that.
