Designers not artists..
Yup, there is a lot of people that think like that here..
I think we are, or at least I am.
I apply my art for commercial purposes, just like Magritte, Dali, Miro, and Ernst did.
Or you thought they where doing it for free?

fate, i don't add that to my portfolio because i have my own restrictions.

distinction?
desktop publisher / graphic designer?i'd say 1/8 of what i design is art.
7/8 is organization or some shit.but keep in mind that 1/8 of my personality is highly pretentious and wears all black.
=D

stewart, sure you do. You don't just shit on a piece of paper and add it to the portfolio. You design /for/ a medium and follow corresponding guidelines.

if you have the luxury of choosing your own clients, you don't have restrictions at all.

A designer has restrictions, and artist doesn't.
Pretty simple.

i think an artist makes shit and people buy it...seek it out.
a designer makes artful things that people first request.
one's open, the other is guided.

architects are artistic engineers who dress really well!

...and "F" in front of "art" is still funny...

i think it's cool to be both, that's why i am...it makes life easier. if you wanna call me an artist, go for it. if you think i'm a designer, great. as long as you like and respect what i push out, who gives a shit.
word to your mother.

Using the sorta generic 'designer' title is probably an issue here too...
How would people refer to an architect... artist?
- withnail0
I hate it more when a client condescendingly refers to a designer as an artist- i.e. an impractical airhead esthete with no awareness of the real world

i've had "designers and illustrators.. same fucking thing aren't they."
that was from a fine artist who now uses a mac to scan in paintings.. ignorant .
