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.

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

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

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.

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.

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?

design is a Form of Art, Graphic Art.
when someone says a designer is not an artist, they are usually referring to "FINE ARTIST" like you see in museums.
