Font size of Chapter number and Chapter Title

Question

As in the picture below I want to change the font size of Chapter number "Chapter 1" and title "Introduction" separately. Is there any way I can do that. I have used the package sectsty but it changed the size of both. I need "Chapter 1" smaller than the title "Introduction".

enter image description here

Standard class set chapter 1 huge so it's smaller than introduction Huge. So what is your class? — touhami, Jul 15 '15 at 07:24

report.cls class use \huge for chapter 1 and \Huge for introduction. The problem is that with \documentclass{report} normal fontsize is 10pt and \Huge=\huge if you set \documentclass[11pt]{report} you'll see that's differts. you can use sectsty package like this

\documentclass{report}

\usepackage{sectsty}

\chapternumberfont{\tiny} 
\chaptertitlefont{\Huge}




\begin{document}
\chapter{introduction}
\end{document}

Thanks. Can you tell me one more thing. How can I put the title (and chapter number) in the center of the page? – MrSingh Jul 15 '15 at 08:03
@MrSingh: replace {\normalfont% with {\normalfont\filcenter% in LaRiFaRi's code. – Bernard Jul 15 '15 at 15:16
