not to me. the commercial aspect that cuts the artistic angle to me is the message or the approach. if something has been created for a specific market then to me it's not strictly art. it's product. if something has been creates as a way of communicating an emotion / feeling / insanity for no other reason that itself then, to me, it's art.
(for no other reason that itself is the main point to me for art)
designers create stuff from another persons brief so they use artistic skills to create a product. but it's not their message.
obviously there's more grey area than solid ground with this point of view - you could argue that warhol's entire career was creating stuff for a specific market, i mean it was one of his friends than grabbed the campbell soup can from her cupboard and said 'paint this' so it's really hard to put into words effectively. personally i can't stand warhol but what do i know. (i preferred lichenstien - or wolfenstein).
again, this is just my opinion so who else whould give a flying fuckery.
it's a person's own line to draw and fuckit, if someone loves an editorial spread and sticks it on a wall as art then good on them. it's art to them so it's art.
