Question: Is there a way to exclude certain pages from the footer image and numbered pages? For example, the first few pages.

As it says in the title, I'd like to remove that element from the title page, but I suppose I'm a bit inept.

I am not 100% sure what you want.

You may want to look at changing the page style. For instance, \thispagestyle{empty} removes both the header and footer from a page.

Some documents, like the ones I make, use roman numerals for the front and back cover before setting page one at the table of contents. In this case, the following commands would be useful to you.

\frontmatter%turns off chapter numbering and uses roman numerals for page numbers;
\mainmatter%turns on chapter numbering, resets page numbering and uses arabic numerals for page numbers;
\appendix%resets chapter numbering, uses letters for chapter numbers and doesn't fiddle with page numbering;
\backmatter%turns off chapter numbering and doesn't fiddle with page numbering.

That did it, thanks @BrianCriswell 👍
