Table of Contents Template

I'm listing the most important articles to me, the ones i think will intrigue people to read my magazine. For the table of contents ill have a big picture of my model on the left of the articles as shown but i want to make the picture more of the background so the words of the article slightly cross over the image. The font of the article is going the be a contrasting color than the issue title to make the titles more visible, while the model quote will be black/white to not bring a lot of attention be to make a difference.
