I prefer being known as a drunk... but hey, creative - reliant upon inebriating substances... hardly a difference.
As for design as an art, if you feel any profession in which someone puts time into creative solutions to very limited problems is merely a way to make a buck, you probably buy paintings from people you'll never know.
Sure we do what we do to pay the rent, but there are some of us who do what we do - very well - to make paying the rent far more satisfying.
An artist is someone who can break the barriers of impossibility and cynicism and make people think, if at least to think about keeping up. I can't blame them for paying their rent along the way.
Then again designers are self-centered ego-manics with their heads so far up their own asses they can re-regurgitate last night's corn, so it can be fun to tell them they aren't artists, just to watch them throw a temper tantrum.
Ok... admittedly I haven't read this whole thread. I just have a few drink in me, the sun is coming up and I decided this was a perfect oppotunity to piss on designers on a designer forum.
