General ⇒ Floating figures in titlepage env

[betyaros]

Hi all!

I need some help. I'm writing my thesis and the title page must to be in form:

Code: Select all

*                                          *
                            University
figure                     Faculty
                            Department


              title
             author
          consultant



              date
*                                           *

Where page corners are marked with stars. My code is there:

Code: Select all

\begin{titlepage}
  \center
  \resizebox{5cm}{!}{\includegraphics{images/figure.eps}}\hfill  
  {\large University \\ Faculty \\ Department}
  \vfill
  {\LARGE \bf The titel of my thesis} \\[20pt]
  {\Large It's me} \vfill {\bf Consultant}:\\ My consultant \vfill
  {Here, 2008}
\end{titlepage}

I don't know how to put the figure and the three-lines-long text next to each other.

Thank you in advance

Hi betyaros,

welcome to the LaTeX Community board!
You could put two minipages next to each other, or parboxes. For example with \parbox:

Code: Select all

\begin{titlepage}
\centering
\parbox{5cm}{\includegraphics[width=5cm]{images/figure.eps}}\hfill
\parbox{4cm}{\large University \\ Faculty \\ Department}
...

Btw: don't use \bf, that's old, use \bfseries or \textbf{...}.

Stefan

Thank you, it's working now I didn't believe that it will be that easy...

Good to hear!
By the way I will move that topic from LaTeX/ Packages & Document Classes to LaTeX/General, because it's not depending on any package or class.
