General ⇒ Cant get image to appear on title page

[rwinston]

Hi all

I a having a really annoying issue: I am using the book class and trying to insert an image on the title page. When I insert the image, it doesnt appear on the title page, but appears on the first page on its own, followed by an empty page, and then the title page (with no image). The image is not especially large. Does anyone know what might be going on here?


\newcommand{\bigsize}{\fontsize{35pt}{20pt}\selectfont}

Code: Select all

\begin{document}
\begin{titlepage}
\centering
\includegraphics[width=.1\textwidth]{images/System}
\title{{\bigsize Test Book Document}}
\author{Rory  \\
{\small\em \copyright \  Draft date \today }}
\end{titlepage}

Cheers
Rory
\maketitle

Hi Rory,

welcome to the forum!

Have a look at this modified example, where I didn't use \maketitle:

Code: Select all

\documentclass[a4paper,10pt]{book}
\usepackage{graphicx}
\usepackage{fix-cm}
\newcommand{\bigsize}{\fontsize{35pt}{20pt}\selectfont}
\begin{document}
\begin{titlepage}
\centering
\includegraphics[width=.1\textwidth]{logo}

{\bigsize Test Book Document}

Rory  \\
{\small\em \copyright \  Draft date \today }
\end{titlepage}
\end{document}

Btw. I used the fix-cm package because of the font size.
