[Tex/LaTex] How to raise or lower the position of text

minipagetext manipulation

Using minipage, I've split my header into

\begin{minipage}{0.4\textwidth}
\textsc{ \Huge{\textbf{MyNameHere}} }\\
\end{minipage}
\begin{minipage}{0.6\textwidth}
   \begin{flushright}
   MyAddress\\
   MyPhone \bullet MyEmail
   \end{flushright}
\end{minipage}

However, the text of the items don't seem to be on even bases. In other words, the text in the left box seems to be "floating" a bit higher than the text on the right.

How can I raise the text in right box?

Update:
I tried using the optional argument [b] and adding \noindent

\noindent % to insert left mini page at left margin
\begin{minipage}[b]{0.4\textwidth}
    { \Huge{\textbf{MyNameHere}} }\\
\end{minipage}\hfill% don't leave empty spaces between the two minipages
\begin{minipage}[b]{0.6\textwidth}
    \begin{flushright}
        \faHome\ Address \textbullet\ CityStateZip \textbullet\ Country \\
        \faMobilePhone\ Phone \textbullet\ \faEnvelopeO\ E-mail \\ %[-0.2cm]
    \end{flushright}
\end{minipage}

But I still have this:

It might not be too clear b/c the background is white, but notice how MyNameHere is much higher.

Best Answer

The two minipage environments can be aligned at different ways:

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{tgpagella}
\begin{document}
\hrule

\noindent
\begin{minipage}{0.4\textwidth}
\textsc{\Huge{\textbf{MyName A}}}
\end{minipage}%
\begin{minipage}{0.6\textwidth}
   \raggedleft
   MyAddress\\
   MyPhone \textbullet\ MyEmail
\end{minipage}

\hrule

\noindent
\begin{minipage}[t]{0.4\textwidth}
\textsc{\Huge{\textbf{MyName B}}}
\end{minipage}%
\begin{minipage}[t]{0.6\textwidth}
   \raggedleft
   MyAddress\\
   MyPhone \textbullet\ MyEmail
\end{minipage}

\hrule

\noindent
\begin{minipage}[t]{0.4\textwidth}
\kern0pt
\textsc{\Huge{\textbf{MyName C}}}
\end{minipage}%
\begin{minipage}[t]{0.6\textwidth}
  \kern0pt
   \raggedleft
   MyAddress\\
   MyPhone \textbullet\ MyEmail
\end{minipage}

\hrule

\noindent
\begin{minipage}[b]{0.4\textwidth}
\textsc{\Huge{\textbf{MyName D}}}
\end{minipage}%
\begin{minipage}[b]{0.6\textwidth}
  \kern0pt
   \raggedleft
   MyAddress\\
   MyPhone \textbullet\ MyEmail
\end{minipage}

\hrule

\noindent
\begin{minipage}[b]{0.4\textwidth}
  \textsc{\Huge{\textbf{MyName E}}}
  \par\kern0pt
\end{minipage}%
\begin{minipage}[b]{0.6\textwidth}
   \raggedleft
   MyAddress\\
   MyPhone \textbullet\ MyEmail
  \par\kern0pt
\end{minipage}

\hrule
\end{document}

Result

A: The minipages are vertically centered.

B: The base lines of the top lines are aligned.

C: The top of the minipages are aligned.

D: The base lines of the bottom lines are aligned.

E: The bottom of the minipages are aligned.
