Oh, and since this is a shell scripting list :), here's how to do it with "do shell script":

property subf_names: { "Design/Stage 1", "Based On", "Artwork" }
--
display dialog "Enter job name:" default answer "job name"
set j_name to text returned of result
repeat
    display dialog "Enter job number:" default answer "0"
    set j_number to text returned of result
    try
        if (j_number as integer) < 100000 and ¬
            (j_number as integer) > -1 then exit repeat
    on error
        display dialog "Error: enter an integer less than 100,000."
    end try
end repeat
set job_number to text -6 thru -1 of ("00000" & j_number & "_")
set temp_name to job_number & j_name

tell application "Finder"
    set main_folder to (make new folder at desktop with properties {name:temp_name}) as alias
end tell

repeat with child in subf_names
do shell script "cd " & quoted form of posix path of main_folder & "; mkdir -p " & quoted form of child
end repeat
