There is no hard and fast rule -
describing oneself either way is entirely down to one's own pretension.

creatives are born with that special talent..
designers are taught in school and can be anyone..

don't call yourself a creative. creative is an adjective, not a noun.

in agencies, the "creative department" includes Designers, Art Directors, Copywriters and Creative Directors.... and probably more....
whereas the "account department" contains those pesky but useful sales-whizzes who convince the client to actually pay for the crazy stuff we do....

Creative comes up with concepts
Designer is given these concepts / style guides to deliver remaining elements to the projectIt's agency talk - not something that generally happens in small studios
- i think your statement is limiting to only agencies in your industry and excluding others..e-pill

They're the same really, depends on how the company is setup really. For my part I would say that all designers are creatives but not all creatives are designers. Creatives being members of the creative dept, that dept being made of people with very different skillsets.
