I think above where the text starts, you've got a pretty good start. In the text area however, it gets muddled. You have two columns, but they are not very clear. What I would do is give a background to the right column to separate it from the rest of the page. I might make it a few pixels wider as well. That will make your typographic measure a little shorter which could be nice. Also, make sure there is a little more space (or some type of division) between columns. I think this could work. it has a good basis. The text just needs to be laid out a little better.

Thank you for your thoughts Joshua. Will take it into consideration.
