If you have created the custom module, you can create a menu item and callback in which you can call a theme function using
hook_theme

function menu_callback_function(){
return theme('THEMENAME');
}

/**
 * Implements hook_theme()
 */
function YOURMODULE_theme() {
    return array(
        'THEMENAME' => array(
       	 'render element' => 'elements',
            'template' => 'templates/YOUR_TPL_FILE',
        ),
    );
}

You can place tpl file in your module folder, In tpl file you can render the image and text.

Hope this will help you.

For your better understanding let me put down the code in detail, hope this will help you. For creating a page you can create a menu item using hook_menu

/**
* Implements hook_menu()
*/
function YOURMODULE_menu() {
    $items['menu_url'] = array(
      'page callback' => 'menu_callback_function',
    );
    return $items;
}

To create a template file you first need to register the theme using hook_theme, you can keep (YOUR_TPL_FILE.tpl.php) file in your module folder and place under templates folder.

/**
 * Implements hook_theme()
 */
function YOURMODULE_theme() {
    return array(
        'THEMENAME' => array(
            'render element' => 'elements',
            'template' => 'templates/YOUR_TPL_FILE',
        ),
    );
}

Menu item will call below function, In which you are calling the registered theme which in turn refer to the template file.

function menu_callback_function(){
return theme('THEMENAME');
}

I think you can use hook_preprocess_page

function mymodule_preprocess_page(&$variables, $hook) {
  if ( my_condition() ) {
    $variables['theme_hook_suggestions'][] = 'your_page';
  }
}

After specifying theme suggestion, you need to create template file with the same name. In name of theme suggestion one needs to replace "_" with "-" while creating template, e.g. maintenance-page.tpl.php
