    Graphic Designer and Graphic Artist seem to be distinctly different people to me.

    Graphic Designer = all things but with emphasis on the laying out of information, correct typesetting, information heirarchy.

    Graphic Artist = all things but emphasis on expressive visual motifs. A hybrid illustrator/visualiser. Image and Iconography used to express meaning.

    Gilbert Lesser was a graphic artist, Wim Crouwel was a graphic designer. Thats how I see it.
