[Tex/LaTex] How to include information about title, author, publisher on a title page

titles

EDIT: Border is not part of the final result – it's just a screenshot.

I want my title page (first page after cover) to look like this (taken from word document):

What is the proper way of laying out a title page?
Should I use the title, author commands, or just layout text with vspace and such? However, I don't know if LaTeX has fields for specifying publisher and publisher place.

Any tips or examples on how to do this would be great.

If you type texdoc titlepages in a command line, you should find Peter Wilson's wonderful set of title page examples. Here's the link on CTAN: TitlePages.

You could use the \institute{...} field for this purpose:

\documentclass{beamer}
\usetheme{CambridgeUS}
\title{Screen Scraping with R}
\subtitle{}
\author{name}
\institute{Kansas City R Users Group}
\date{June 20, 2011}
\begin{document}
\maketitle
\end{document}

http://ctan.org/tex-archive/info/latex-samples/TitlePages This has some great-looking examples, however, the dependencies are all very complicated (i.e. knowing which packages to load in order to compile an example requires familiarity with dozens of packages), and they are also limited to 1 page.

I have taken (some of those examples) in the past and put them as individual examples. You can download these from Here, Here, Here, and Here. I have changed the examples little to work with xepersian package to typeset Persian documents.
