Winner: Layout 1

Layout 1 won the poll so now I need to start designing it more in detail (add the text, add images later on after completing photo shoot). The amount of images I need for the contents page will be around 6 - 8 but I need to take around 20 just to make sure I have a good selection to choose from. Below is the winning contents layout.

(EDITED: I am thinking of changing the design just a little, maybe having two columns instead of three, not sure yet, I will have to come back on this)
