    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
