An advertiser has an idea. A graphic designer implements an idea. So .... advertising is selling, graphic design is helping advertisers sell by making selling pretty.

The question irritates me. What next... "what's the difference between realtors and architects?".
Graphic design is about so much more than just serving the advertising industry. Or should be.

I liked the idea of "advertising sells, graphic tells"
But for that soundbite to sit proper you need to be even more clear about advertising.
Take the graphic of the stop sign, or any other exclamatory sign:
it strongly advertises it's position by it's bright colors and deviant shape. But it doesn't sell you anything.To me, design is intention and advertising an all purpose verb meaning "throwing it out there".
That probably doesn't help explaining the difference to your client, tho.

Design is an often masturbatory excercise that is oriented to impressing the circle jerk world of awards shows and pro boner clients done by part-time academics who have huge fucking trust funds
Advertising is cranked out by the former students of the above who have fucking huge loans to pay for....

Advertising is the motivation.
Graphic design is the method.

Advertising = you realized that it's easier to steal ideas than have your own ones + quite probably hate your job and 90% of the people you work with
Pure Graphic Design = you're a nice chap + not yet realized that you could be earning 5 times more cash if you were working in advertising as a wanking director
