Why are you using a table? Table markup should never be used for layout.

I have mostly done a few css/php changes to my theme (twentytwelve), if im using a table its based on the theme.
I made this picture to illustrate what I want, hopefully someone can point me in the right direction.. Quite new to css and php.

Do not edit the Twenty Twelve theme. It is the default WordPress theme and having access to an unedited version of the theme is vital when dealing with a range of site issues. First create a child theme for your changes.

You ought to first make your layout in HTML and CSS, statically. Then move onto PHP and WordPress when you’re ready.
HTML and CSS can be queried in a more appropriate forum: http://csscreator.com/forum

Esmi: Thanks, yes I am using a child theme.
Andrew: Cheers for the tip. Im a little confused now though. I thought what I showed was a simple table that made it seem more “structured” – but if I am not to use tables, how can I get the effect I made in photoshop?
You should be using divs and other semantic markup along with CSS. See:

If you get stuck, try a dedicated CSS resource such as http://www.css-discuss.org/
