You know it's not a requirement of our profession to know the answer to this question . . . you aren't a bad designer if you can't tell the difference . . . and I mean the actual difference, not the who/what/where, between design and art. You certainly "design" a piece of art, and you certainly utilize artistic methods when designing a piece of junk mail. You could see a beautiful poster with words on it that you don't recognize, so it's art to you. But it's in french, and it's actually a poster for a local french band. So it's really design. The only difference is context, and whether or not you believe it's possible to create art unintentionally. If you know the answer to that last point I'd really like to hear it.
