I currently have the following page as a title page:

enter image description here

The left title pages is with \vspace{10cm} / \vspace{5cm}, the right one without. The upper ones are in A4 page format (for students to print), the lower ones are in A5 format (for professional printing).

I think the ones on the left look much better. But I would like to have the space inserted "dynamically" (so that I don't have to change this every time I change the format). How can I do this?

This is the source (sources with image):

\author{Siehe \href{http://tinyurl.com/GeoTopo}{tinyurl.com/GeoTopo}}
\title{Geometrie und Topologie\\
        \vspace{10cm}
        \includegraphics[width=0.9\linewidth]{figures/Torus.pdf}}
\usepackage{microtype}

\begin{document}
\pagenumbering{roman}
\setcounter{page}{1}
\maketitle
\end{document}

I thought I could make a full page as title page. But this might cause problems with font size.

    What exactly do you want? Did you try \vfill or \vfil? – Sigur Dec 26 '13 at 17:41
  • In principle I want vfill (or vfil). But it didn't work. – Martin Thoma Dec 26 '13 at 17:46

    What do you mean by didn't work? Please, explain better what is the desired output. – Sigur Dec 26 '13 at 17:48
  • Maybe \vspace{.1\textheight} – Sigur Dec 26 '13 at 17:52
  • For A4, \vspace{0.42\textheight} looks like I want it. But for A5 this will result in two pages. So \vspace{X\textheight} does not solve the problem. – Martin Thoma Dec 26 '13 at 18:29

    Well I think you should use the environment titlepage there you can get absolute control of the elements, position and layout of your title page. You need to replace the \maketitle with that environment... even if you don't need an inner second title page. – Aradnix Dec 26 '13 at 18:45
  • The result here looks nice https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/42709342/fastex-temp.pdf – Sigur Dec 26 '13 at 18:46
  • I want the document to look like the two ones on the left side. With "it didn't work" I mean that it does not change anything. I can insert \vfill where I currently have \vspace{10cm} or I can remove \vspace{10cm} completely. The output pdf (generated by pdflatex) looks identical. – Martin Thoma Dec 26 '13 at 18:55
  • @moose Your preamble is very confused and you have several packages after hyperref that should go before it. Follow the suggestions and use the titlepage environment. – egreg Dec 26 '13 at 22:35
  • Still interested in solving the matter? If yes, please update the question. If not, we might close it with our next »answer the unanswered«. You might also be interested in How to make a titlepage? – Johannes_B Nov 03 '14 at 18:28
  • @Johannes_B: To be honest, I think I finished the related project and I think I found a work-around. Without reading my question again, I don't even remember the problem. I certainly can't add more details now.

    However, I might find some time to read it next week (I have to finish my bachelor's thesis until next Monday and I'm still changing some of the content)
