Cover page color for PhD thesis

Post by gmgpina20 »

Dears,
Can you help me in formatting my title page (cover page). It is for my PhD thesis.
I have to follow this example Image ...
For this purpose I am using these codes for title page

Code: Select all

\begin{titlepage}

\pagecolor{gray}\afterpage{\nopagecolor}

%Cover image
   \begin{center}
	\includegraphics[width=0.8\textwidth]{images.eps}
   \end{center}
	%Autor name
	\begin{center}
 \vspace*{2cm}
  {\LARGE\bf Gilson Manuel Gomes Pina}
	
	%Thesis title
	  \vspace*{1.2cm}
  {\Huge \bf Monetary and Fiscal Policy and Business Cycles in Emerging Markets}
 

 \vspace*{1.2cm}

  {\small PhD thesis in economics, specializing in Monetary Economics, supervised by Professor Pedro Bação and Professor Ricardo Sousa and presented to the Faculty of Economics, University of Coimbra.}
	
	\vspace*{1.0cm}
	
	{\small September 2014}
	
	\end{center}
	
  \vspace*{1.6cm}
		
	\begin{center}
	\includegraphics[width=0.3\textwidth]{insigniafeuc.eps}
		\end{center}
	\begin{center}
	\textsc{\small Faculty of Economics, University of Coimbra}
	\end{center}
	
\end{titlepage}
and for the full thesis compilation I am using:

Code: Select all

\documentclass{dmathesis}
%% uncommand the following line to print equation labels next to
%% equation numbers. 
\usepackage{lipsum}% for auto generating text
\usepackage{xcolor}


\usepackage{showlabel}
%% The following is to control the format of the thesis
\input{format}

%% File to be included while running latex.
\includeonly{chapter1,chapter2,chapter3%
                 ,chapter4,chapter5,chapter6,ref,append}

\begin{document}

%% Front page of thesis
\input{coverpage}
\input{frontpage}

%% Main text
% set page number starts from 1
\pagenumbering{arabic}
\setcounter{page}{1}

%% To ensure the equation counter works correctly
\eqlabon
\eqlaboff

\include{chapter1}
\include{chapter2}
\include{chapter3}
\include{chapter4}
\include{chapter5}
\include{chapter6}
\include{ref}
\include{append}
\end{document}
So, the problem are: first one, I need to include the "color page" just for cover page, but it will appear in the full thesis. I'm trying many examples from the web, but anything is working. How can I do that? And the second one, How can I put the image to occupy full top of the cover page, as in the example?
Thank you for your help.
