I am having trouble creating a header that is a full page stretched figure with text overlaid. Coupling this too with a title that is single column, followed by double column (the latter I have found a solution for, but not the general required format that follows it).
I would basically like to make the following front page template in latex:
It further requires the other pages to just have the full spanned header image (no text) and the page numbers as on the first page. I am hoping there are more savvy tex users that could easily produce the template above.
Please assist.
My attempt at doing this fails terribly - I cannot get the image in the header to span the entire page (noindent fails), nor can I get the Investment Strategy part to be on the right. I am also not getting the toprule ratio neat on the second page - it is too low.
See the code below:
