Using the sorta generic 'designer' title is probably an issue here too...
How would people refer to an architect... artist?

'editor' at a mag i'd once worked for used to claim that writers were a dime a dozen...
mag went bust a few months later.

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.

pipefitting and carpentry can be considered art. i consider coding to be an art.
all depends on one's interpretation.

the diffrence between design and art, is intention and mistakes.

Design is a system of organization. It is not art.

"Design is a system of organization."
So is writing.

Art doesn't need to have a function, whilst design relies on it.
If you think you're an *artist* you're probably not a very good designer. More an illustrator? They lie somewhere between the two, expressing themselves through their personal visual style, and just hoping that enough clients will buy their produce.

sounds to me that anyone who is so keen to be called an 'artist' for these seemingly pretentious / superficial reasons is not really an 'artist' but rather a puppet or a pretender. I would expect an artist to be someone who is compelled to do what they do with little care for titles or decoration.

Most writers aren't given spec sheets.
Designer : Artist

hm.... hmmm.... hmmmm
designing is an art
design itself is not.nah.. that's stupid bullshit.
The question is if people like "greyscale" are doing art or design.nah ... that is also useless... I'll leave the thread now.

couldn't the rules of the language and the desired genre be considered the spec sheets?
regardless, i still feel it's a matter of interpretation. If you don't think it's art, well more power to ya.
