Answer 1

looks like you're adding header after the label so it's covering it up. try changing the order.

move

[self.view addSubview:Label];

so it is after

[self.view addSubview:header]; 

Answer 2

Switch the order to -addSubview: the two UI elements. The view added the last will be shown on the top.

Or use -insertSubview:aboveSubview:.

Answer 3

Try to use the following two functions over the self.view:

- (void)bringSubviewToFront:(UIView *)view
- (void)sendSubviewToBack:(UIView *)view

Edited

It seems to me that you are trying to create a custom navigation with the image as a background and the label on top.

This is not the good way to get your thing done. I suggest you to ask a new question if this is what you want.
