"Creatives" are the managerial class.
"Designers" are the working class.
"Creatives" give "direction"(tell what to do) to the "designers".
"Creatives" are valued for the personalities and social skills.
"Designers" are valued for their ability to follow directions and skills in whatever software is currently popular.

I've generally found that anyone who calls themself a 'creative' when you ask what their job is, is
1) not creative
2) a wankercheers

designer is far from specific...
you need more descriptors to get the point across.
graphic
web
3d
sound
lighting
stage
etc etc etc

"Creative" is generic – "Designer" is specific.

Designer - has been failing for long enough to know what works and gets there quickly, executes it well, is frustrated by people who know less and are in a position to direct him/her (art directors, clients, CD and in some places marketing 'professionals')
Creative - Is valued by clients enough to be listened to because they don't understand what it is he/she does/knows, earns more, is basically a designer - but my not be, in some cases has no skills at all.

Designer, actual talent
Creative, knows how to type keywords into YouTube- This is almost the dictionary definition. Creative occasionally misspells keywords.

Creative's take the credit for all the work the designer produces.

I thought you ended up on another planet, or dimension or whatever at the end of that QBN fiction thread! How did you find your way back to earth?

a copywriter can be a creative..... so it's a broader term

Designer is a noun. Creative is an adjective. Calling designers creatives is like calling lawyers legals. It's daft, douchey, and addy. Don't do it.

It depends on who you are talking to: an integrated agency would consider a "creative" a broad term for anyone in the creative department who likely has an area of expertise; art director, motionagrapher, writer, UX/UI, designer, etc. It can also be used to describe someone who is an integrated thinker and can execute work in every medium; interactive, print, broadcast, mobile.
