I hope that the following helps you get started. Please provide more details if you want something more help.
This is my MWE using KOMA Script
:
\documentclass{scrreprt}
\usepackage{scrpage2,scrextend}
\usepackage{calc}
\usepackage[usenames,dvipsnames]{xcolor}
\usepackage{tikz}
\author{Name A. Surname}
\title{%
\textcolor{BrickRed}{Journal of the} \vspace{1em}\\
Stackexchange \LaTeX users of the world wide web}
% This part depends on your actual environment, Here I am using KOMA script
\makeatletter
\renewcommand{\maketitle}{%
\begin{tikzpicture}[remember picture, overlay]
% Gray boundary
\node (left) at (current page.west)
[rectangle, fill=gray, inner sep=0pt, anchor = west,
minimum width=4cm, minimum height=1\paperheight]{};
% Red boundary
\node (bottom) at (current page.south)
[rectangle, fill=BrickRed, inner sep=0 pt, anchor=south,
minimum width=1\paperwidth, minimum height=0.5cm]{};
% Some additional stuff:
\node [yshift=\paperheight/3] (middle) at (current page.south)
[rectangle, fill=Green, inner sep=0pt, anchor=north west,
minimum height=3cm, minimum width=0.25\paperwidth]{};
\node [yshift=\paperheight/3] (middle) at (current page.south)
[rectangle, fill=BrickRed, inner sep=0pt, anchor=north east,
minimum height=3cm, minimum width=0.25\paperwidth]{};
\node [yshift=\paperheight/3] (middle) at (current page.south)
[rectangle, fill=Goldenrod, inner sep=0pt, anchor=south west,
minimum height=3cm, minimum width=0.25\paperwidth]{};
\node [yshift=\paperheight/3] (middle) at (current page.south)
[rectangle, fill=RoyalBlue, inner sep=0pt, anchor=south east,
minimum height=3cm, minimum width=0.25\paperwidth]{};
\end{tikzpicture}
\thispagestyle{empty}
\parindent0pt
\begin{addmargin}{4em}
\vspace{4cm}
{\huge\usekomafont{title} \@title}
\vspace{2cm}
{\usekomafont{disposition}\Large \@author}
\end{addmargin}
}
\makeatother
\begin{document}
\maketitle
\end{document}
Use the titlepage
environment. Assuming you're using a separate tex file for that, which you include using \input{filename}
in your main file, your titlepage tex-file should look somewhat like this
\begin{titlepage}
\setlength{\parindent}{0pt} %remove indent at new paragraph
\vspace*{5cm} %vertical space
\textbf{
\huge{
\textsc{
The title of the series
}
}
}\\[25mm] %space after line
\textbf{
\Large{
Possible Subtitle
}
}
\vspace*{10cm} %vertical space
\begin{tabularx}{\textwidth}{p{10cm} X}
& Name \\
& University \\
& Faculty \\
& Major \\
& Date \\
\end{tabularx}
\end{titlepage}
This is a little sloppy. I didn't put in all the correct text from your example but I hope you get the idea of everything.
You will have to tweak the \vspace*{distance}
a little and maybe also the p{distance}
in the tabularx table. Regarding that, you will of course need
\usepackage{tabularx}
in your preamble. There's other ways to align text (like the tabto package), but I prefer tables.
Hope that helped; comment if you have questions.

First of all, you can encolose the title page in a
titlepage
environment so the document class deals with it in a proper way.Then you can set the distances between text blocks in a relative way to each other (by using the
\stretch
command), so if you are required to change the paper size (university policies with respect to thesis formatting can be very annoying) they still keep the same proportion on the page.You can also define picture sizes relative to document parameters, by defining lengths as a number multiplying predefined constants, say defining
width
as a multiple of\textwidth
. Be sure to use a vectorial picture so it does not suffer loss of quality due to resizing (and also makes for smaller file sizes). You can find the UNICAMP logo in several formats here (Beware: the eps version has some gibberish code written after the postscript code. Get rid of it otherwise LaTeX won't like it).You can fine-tune the margins further by using commands from the
geometry
package.So a full example of a
titlepage
would be
