Hmm, good thoughts. I think you and I are thinking pretty much the same. Design is not art? Hmm... I think Leonardo da Vinci would possibly disagree with that.

But maybe you're saying "design" is more mathematical in nature -- something either fits and works, or it doesn't. I could see that. Are graphic designers not usually artists? Or maybe you're saying the term should be "graphic artists" and not "graphic designers"?
btw, I lol'ed at monkey with grenade :)
- Neputys 16y agoI think original and real meaning of term "design" is somehow lost to many people. It was coined for a reason long long after term art existed. The reason was that it was a process of creating something with aesthetic value but for business/utilitarian purpose and within certain constrains. Things like market, engineering, mass production requirements and so on. And designer is someone who has to understand these things in order to do his job well as opposed to artist who can make a car with a huge butterfly wings on it and it can still be a masterpiece as an artwork thou he has no idea what people want, how engineers work and it's absurd as a new model...
