Graphics, Figures & Tables ⇒ Image on CV Front Page

[Per_Melin]

Hi the Community!

I'm pretty new in this game and have now come across a problem regarding a figure on my front page of a CV template with document class "\documentclass{scrartcl}".

The code is as following:

Code: Select all

\documentclass{scrartcl}
\reversemarginpar % Move the margin to the left of the page 
\newcommand{\MarginText}[1]{\marginpar{\raggedleft\itshape\small#1}} % New command defining the margin text style
\usepackage[nochapters]{classicthesis} % Use the classicthesis style for the style of the document
\usepackage[LabelsAligned]{currvita} % Use the currvita style for the layout of the document
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
\usepackage{graphicx}
\usepackage{sidecap,caption}
%\usepackage{float}
\usepackage{sidecap}
\usepackage{floatrow}
\usepackage{titlepic}
\usepackage{pdfpages}
\usepackage[font={scriptsize,sc}]{caption}
\renewcommand{\cvheadingfont}{\LARGE\color{Maroon}} % Font color of your name at the top
\usepackage{hyperref} % Required for adding links	and customizing them
\hypersetup{colorlinks, breaklinks, urlcolor=Maroon, linkcolor=Maroon} % Set link colors
\newlength{\datebox}\settowidth{\datebox}{Spring 2011} % Set the width of the date box in each block
\newcommand{\NewEntry}[3]{\noindent\hangindent=2em\hangafter=0 \parbox{\datebox}{\small \textit{#1}}\hspace{1.5em} #2 #3 % Define a command for each new block - change spacing and font sizes here: #1 is the left margin, #2 is the italic date field and #3 is the position/employer/location field
\vspace{0.5em}} % Add some white space after each new entry
\newcommand{\Description}[1]{\hangindent=2em\hangafter=0\noindent\raggedright\footnotesize{#1}\par\normalsize\vspace{1em}} % Define a command for descriptions of each entry - change spacing and font sizes here
\pagestyle{empty}

The following picture shows what this code generates at the moment.

And the next picture is my goal to achieve with this thread.

CV-goal.png (71.42 KiB) Viewed 8996 times

How can I do this, include a picture there in the right top corner without messing up the other text in the document?

Thank you very much for your time!

best regards, Per

Hi Per,

welcome to the forum!

You could use the textpos package for this, alternatively eso-pic, atbegshi or everyshi. All those packages provide ways for positioning text at absolute positions on the page.
