I used at the very beginning of my document "thesis":
\begin{figure}[p] \vspace*{-2cm} \makebox[\linewidth]{ \includegraphics[width=1.3\linewidth]{images/sequence2.pdf} }\end{figure}
to insert the cover page of my thesis. The problem is that, in the PDF, this page is becoming page 2 while the "usually second page" acknowledgement becomes page 1.
Is there a way to force the page of the cover to be the first in the document or to stop changing the places of the two pages?

and\end{center}
.\begin{titlepage}...\end{titlepage}
