it really depends on what kind of design you're doing
doing movie posters, game covers 'n' shit is just like painting- indeed painting is a large part of what we do (we just do it digitally), and i get as much satisfaction out of it as i do painting at home on canvas as a "fine artist". it demands a painter's skill in color mixing, psychology, lighting, atmosphere, and everything else
i would not hesitate to say that some key art should be framed and viewed in galleries
and then you've got designers who do grocery store flyers for a living
i would not say that is art or should be viewed artistically in anything more than a kitsch context
i guess what i'm saying is that many areas of design can be cross-referenced as art
