Maybe we are tlaking about different things, but it seems to me that you are confusing the word "design" with the profession "design" I'm talking about the last one.
The Sistine ceiling is a work of art above else, becuase it produces a physical reaction, you don't say just "is nice" or "I like it" or "is cool", it produces a deep reaction that makes you speechless, or at least that's what people who has been there says... (haven't been there, yet).
I don't think is an advertising, it was instructive, because most of the people didn't knew how to read back then and it was also to scare the hell out of everyone, to not commit sin.... =).
It's was decorative too. And after all we are taking it out of context, becuase back then the concept of design as we know it today didn't exist back then.
Maybe is a bad example.A design will never produce that, becuase aboce else, his purpose is to sell, the reaction will be direct.
I don't know how to explain it in english, specially because I'm half asleep =)
