Ok, I gave this some thought and here are my pointers on customizing the template that you're using.
You do not NEED to create a new thumbnail, php file etc to customize an existing template, you can use edit the template as it already is.
A super easy way to do this is to extract the template .zip file on your hardrive. Look at ja_purity_ii_-_stable_version.v1.2.0\Templates\jatc_ja_purity_ii_j15\images\header
These are the headers that they already have set up, the size is 600X80. If you create a header file thats 600x80, you can rename one of their files header1_old, and rename your customized header file header1 and upload it to /public_html/templates/jatc_ja_purity_ii_j15/images on your server.
The software is just looking for a file named header1.jpg, header2.jpg or header3.jpg thats 600x80, any .jpg file will do as long as it has the right name.
The rest of the image files that are part of the template are in ja_purity_ii_-_stable_version.v1.2.0\Templates\jatc_ja_purity_ii_j15\images\
You can modify those and as long as they are the right size, not changes will need to be made to the CSS files.
Make sense?
Now to put an image in an article is different, and that's done with an editor.
