I am using the classic thesis template and I would like to include the names of my supervisors on the left end of the cove page but nothing seems to work. I hope that someone can help with that, for my preamble I use the following:

 % book example for classicthesis.sty \documentclass[ % Replace twoside with oneside if you are printing your thesis on a single side % of the paper, or for viewing on screen. %oneside, oneside, 11pt, a4paper, footinclude=true, headinclude=true, cleardoublepage=empty ]{scrbook} \setlength{\parindent}{4em} %\usepackage{scrlfile} \PreventPackageFromLoading{mathpazo} %\usepackage[pdfspacing,eulerchapternumbers]{classicthesis} \usepackage{float} \usepackage{lipsum} \usepackage[linedheaders,parts,pdfspacing]{classicthesis} \usepackage{amsmath} \title{Design of Support Tools} \author{by\\ name} \date{2014} \titlehead{A Thesis submitted for the degree} \setlength{\parindent}{4em} \begin{document} \maketitle \frontmatter \tableofcontents \listoffigures \chapter{Acknowledgements} I would like to thank my supervisor, Professor Someone. This research was funded by the Imaginary Research Council. \chapter{Abstract} A brief summary of the project goes here. \chapter{Abbreviations} \mainmatter \backmatter \begin{thebibliography}{100} % 100 is a random guess of the total number of \end{thebibliography} \end{document}

For my thesis I built my own title page in a seperate file named 'title.tex' because that way it is much more flexible than using the standard title page.

here a quick example how I designed my titlepage including your title:

\begin{titlepage} \begin{center} \textsc{\LARGE A Thesis submitted for the degree}\\[1,5cm] \begingroup \linespread{1,75} \selectfont \textsc{\LARGE Design of Support Tools}\\[1,5cm] \endgroup by\\[0,5cm] name\\[2,5cm] \end{center} Names of your supervisors \vfill \end{titlepage} 

and in the main document include the titlepage with \input{./title.tex}

eg:

\begin{document} \selectlanguage{ngerman} %titlepage \input{./title.tex} ... \end{document}

    Little hint, line spacing is done after the paragraph is finished. I think you will prefer \textsc{\LARGE Design of Support Tools\par} as this is the recommended way. Commented Oct 22, 2014 at 16:05
