Moving element outside of grid system

I'm developing a tumblr theme with bootstrap, and I'd like a nice big area for the user's profile picture right next to the header. The issue here is, that bootstrap has a very tight grid format and I can't see any room for what I want:

enter image description here

see that red thing? I want to move it where the blue arrow is pointing. I've tried expanding the container, setting the red circle to float left, and giving it margin-bottom:100%, but that shoved everything down off the page.

Here's my css and HTML for reference, the item in question is labeled with the class "talkbubble":

CSS

//Media Queries
@media (min-width: 1200px){
    .container {
        width: 800px;
    }
}

    .container {
        width: 800px;
    }
}

Solution

  • See this fiddle

    The trick is this:

    <div class="container-fluid">
  <div class="row">
    <div class="col-md-3">
      ...your image markup here...
    </div>
    <div class="col-md-9">
      ...
    </div>
  </div>

    I've set it to be like that from md up. You might want to make use of hidden-* for the image column at lower widths as what you're doing from a design point of view would look strange at mobile widths.
