I'm trying to specify text within certain locations of a title page, such as title of essay a quarter down the page, my name half way down, etc. Here's my MWE:
\documentclass[letterpaper,12pt]{article}
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
\usepackage{lmodern, outlines,tensor,amssymb,amsmath,wasysym,ulem,cancel,textcomp,fancyhdr,xfrac,multicol,hyperref,setspace}
\usepackage[top=2.54cm, left=2.54cm, bottom=2.54cm,right=2.54cm]{geometry}
\begin{document}
\begin{titlepage}
\begin{center}
Insert Witty Title Here: Witty Subtitle Here\\[3.81cm]
Jane Doe\\[7.62cm]
\doublespacing
{A Class\\
Dr. Some Body\\
13 November 2012}\\[22.86cm]
\end{center}
\end{titlepage}
\end{document}
As y'all can see, I have tried to specify the locations relative to a letter size page, but it's not rendering the way I would like it to, and neither does changing the size do anything.
Any advice, I would very much appreciate. Thanks!
Just as an aside: I don't know if anyone is looking at how many packages I have and thinking, "Wow, that's sure alot" or maybe not because it's reasonably normal… but yes I do use lots of packages.

Below I have defined
\QuarterPage
to be the vertical space of 1/4 of the page, and added\vspace*{\QuarterPage}
before the title, after the title so that the name is half way on the page, and another after this so that other material starts around 3/4 of the page:Notes:
showframe
option to thegeometry
package was used just to show the page margins. This should be removed in actual usage.Code:
