    Bluejam made some points, but they didn't go deep enough.

    Ell's quote was the best I've read so far. My version of the quote is:

    Design has a set function that it is judged upon. It is for a "target audience" or to satisfy a need. But it IS definite in its function.

    Art does not serve a definite function. That's why most art is open to interpretation, regardless of the artist's intentions.

    They both require creativity, and this is where the overlap occurs.
