| Back | Crystelle's Math Interview My Dad: The Graphic Designer   Q- How do you use math in your work?  A-    I use math mostly to price my work. I present to my client a price estimate in which I use the following methods:   ¨      Addition   ¨      Subtraction      ¨      Multiplication   ¨      Percentage          I estimate how many hours I need to design a logo.  Example:     I estimated that I need 5 hours to design a certain logo. Since I charge US $200 per hour, I simply multiply the number of hours it needs to be finished by 200 and come up with the price. In this example, it takes 5 hours, so 5x200=1,000.  I would charge this logo for US $1,000     Q- Is there another way in which you use Math?  A-    Yes. I also use Math when I design logos. Here I use Measurement and Geometry. Geometry is used basically when I draw geometrical shapes to form the final logo. These shapes are: -Lines (straight or curved) -Sphere -Pyramid            -Cylinder -Circle -Triangle -Cone -Square -Rhombus -Cube -Rectangle and Rectangular Prism   DlZINE UNLIMITED                  COST ESTIMATE   November 6, 2000  To  :   Legend Technologies  S.A.L.   Description                                                                                  COST (IN US$)  -COST OF DESIGNING A LOGO FOR THE FIRM                 1000  -COST OF DESIGNING A LETTERHEAD                              100   -COST OF DESIGNING A BUSINESS CARD                        100             addition  -COST OF DESIGNING A FOLDER                                        100    TOTAL                                                                                         1300 SPECIAL DISCOUNT (20%)                                                    -260     NET TOTAL                                                                                1040                                                           subtraction                            ONE THOUSAND FOURTY                                                                                                       US DOLLARS ONLY                                                                                                             SIGNATURE                                      percentage                                                                        | Back |
