Here’s your problem: You have photo and type competing for the same space, and something has to give. One alternative: erase some of the photo, and turn it into a design element. A feathered edge will soften its transition to the page. This 15-page article from issue 39 of Before&After Magazine shows you how to feather a photo creatively to maintain its vibrance.
Keep in mind that you want type and image to work together, so what you’re looking for is how they interact.
