How to move files based on filetype and time created?

Hi,

I'm trying to improve my Unix skills and I'm wondering what is the best way to move some files based on filetype and attributes like time created?

For instance, lets suppose I have a directory with many different files in it and I'd like to move all the jpgs that were created between May 30th and Jun 3rd to another folder? What is the best way to achieve this and why?

Thanks!
