Custom blog page on Wordpress (PHP) - Pagination - php

Question

I'm trying to display first 5 posts with custom thumbnails and titles on this page and I need to display only the titles for the next 5 posts and then the pagination. You can see an example of what I need by clicking here. (see the posts on the left)
Below is the custom template I'm using on the page.
<?php
get_header(); ?>
<div id="primary">
<div id="content" role="main">
<?php
$paged = (get_query_var('paged')) ? get_query_var('paged') : 1;
query_posts($args);
if( have_posts() ) :?>
<?php twentyeleven_content_nav( 'nav-above' );?>
<?php while ( have_posts() ) : the_post(); ?>
<div class="post-thumb-title">
<?php the_post_thumbnail(array(632,305));?>
<p class="thumb-title2"><?php the_title(); ?></p>
<p class="news-date"><?php the_time('F jS, Y') ?></p>
<div id="post-excerpt">
<?php the_excerpt(); ?>
</div>
</div>
<?php endwhile; ?>
<?php twentyeleven_content_nav( 'nav-below' ); ?>
<?php else : ?>
<article id="post-0" class="post no-results not-found">
<header class="entry-header">
<h1 class="entry-title"><?php _e( 'Nothing Found', 'twentyeleven' ); ?></h1>
</header><!-- .entry-header -->
<div class="entry-content">
<p><?php _e( 'Apologies, but no results were found for the requested archive. Perhaps searching will help find a related post.', 'twentyeleven' ); ?></p>
<?php get_search_form(); ?>
</div>
<?php endif; ?>
</div>
</div>
<?php get_sidebar(); ?>
<?php get_footer(); ?>
Thanks

You could try something like this
<?php
// amount of posts shown with thumbnail
// post 6 .. pagesize (wp-admin > settings > reading) will be displayed as link only
$withThumb = 5;
while ( have_posts() ) : the_post();
if ($withThumb-- > 0) { ?>
<div class="post-thumb-title">
<?php the_post_thumbnail(array(632,305));?>
<p class="thumb-title2"><?php the_title(); ?></p>
<p class="news-date"><?php the_time('F jS, Y') ?></p>
<div id="post-excerpt">
<?php the_excerpt(); ?>
</div>
</div>
<?php } else { ?>
<div class="post-title">
<p class="thumb-title2">
<?php the_title(); ?>
</p>
</div>
<?php } ?>
<?php endwhile; ?>
