Scaling a logo |
2008-10-20 |
|
From Carl:
Hello!
I hope that you can help me out here. I've been trying to figure this out for awhile now and can't come up with the answer logically.
I am a graphic designer by trade and need to figure out how large my client's logo should be.
The logo will need to be sized proportionally with the surface area of the page.
The logo will always be sized at 1.2938(w) x .75(h) on a letter size page (8.5 x 11).
My question is...
When you increase the size of the page (not always proportionally sized - dimensionally) how do figure out the NEW size of the logo.
I could have a page 20" x 40" or 30' x 4'... or ANY size really.
I believe I have the new surface area of the logo but can't find the new dimensions.

x = y^2 and x = -4 y^2 |
2007-09-11 |
|
From Jil:
My question is when dealing with parabolas, x=y^2, so that they are sifted on their side you could say,
what will happen to the graph if you change it to x=-4y^2. I understand
that the - flips the graph in the other direction but can you simply just plug
in numbers and increase the stretch of the y?

From Irene:
How the graph of a parabola f(x)=1/4(x+3)squared-4 can be obtained from the graph of y=xsquared, using Translations and Scalings.

I have to design a lettering on corrugated plate |
2006-11-29 |
|
From Tim:
For a client of mine I have to design a lettering on corrugated plate. The lettering has to appear "normal" when viewed from the front (100%) I am so far now to consider the shape of the plate to be two halves of an oval/ellipse. What I would like to know is a way to calculate the percentage in which I have to "stretch" my design in order to let it appear "normal".

Resizing a polygon |
2005-11-26 |
|
From Anthony:
I am currently working on a mapping program in which polygons, rectangles, circles, etc... are rotated, moved, and resized. Recently, I used the rotation conversion formula to rotate the items n degrees/radians by using the point and the center point of the shape.
Currently, I am working on resizing the shape (length and/or width) while still trying to maintain the integrity of the shape. I basically want to decrease or increase the y value by 1 in order to resize the length and I want to decrease or increase the x value by 1 in order to resize the width.
The corresponding x and y values either increase by 1, stay the same, or decrease by 1.
Is it possible to use just the point and center of the shape in order to calculate this resizing?
What can I use to accomplish this task?
