Document Classes ⇒ [Beamer] Promoter's surname on titlepage

[dagna]

Hi!

I'm preparing presentation on defend my thesis. I have problem with title page. I have got:
* \title{my thesis title}
* \author{my name and surname}
* \institute{my university}
* \date{the day when I will defend my thesis}

But I have one problem. I need insert the my promoter's surname, for example:

Promoter: Dr Daniel Smith

I think in should be between author and institute, but I need some space under author.

It can't compile:

Code: Select all

\author{my name and surname\\ \vspace{5pt} \footnotesize Promoter: Dr Daniel Smith}

Has anybody an idea how can I do it?

Please provide a minimal working example.

For what it's worth, I have no trouble compiling:

Code: Select all

\author{my name and surname\\ \vspace{5pt} \footnotesize Promoter: Dr Daniel Smith}

though it doesn't do what you want.

You could try, e.g.:

Code: Select all

\author{my name and surname \\[15pt]{\footnotesize Promoter: Dr Daniel Smith}}

Change "15pt" to whatever.

Or you could put that info inside the \institute line:

Code: Select all

\institute{Promoter: Dr. Daniel Smith \\[12pt] my university}

But you should really follow board rules and provide a MWE.
