What? A Divi ‘layout’ that will get a content overlapping graphic section jump-started. The idea of using textual content on top of background image has been in use for years; a fan favorite among designers and users alike. This tried and true technique had its roots in print design, well before Al Gore had invented the internet. Textual content overlapping an image can provide the type of engaging experience to move readers to Zen that makes them one with your content.
Sound graphic design rules are built on well researched foundations. Unless you are a ‘natural’ at design, you should stick to these guidelines until you become familiar with the technical underpinnings that support them. Yes, they are called “rules”, but this doesn’t mean that designers need to be locked in to them specifically. Adhering to the principles and experimenting will get one the perfect layout and design, eventually 😉

In 1995, he released the CD “Convinced,” a mixture of R&B, gospel and country pop.

This will pull up the content section over the image module above it. Adjust the number to suite your taste.
Send me a link when your done so I can see the beauty of your genius.
Content Over Video
What’s The Difference?
To achieve this, instead of an Image module, add a Divider module and set the height to 640px.
In the setting for this first row (green): Advanced Design Settings => Set a background video.
In the second row settings, under the Custom CSS tab, replace the css with the following:
position: relative;
top: -165px;
z-index: 1;
