I'm scared this topic is going to come up when I'm visiting the fine arts schools I plan on applying to.

"but you get money if your an established artist"
-design4rentTrue. However one big difference is you can be a mediocre designer and make a living at it. (I should know! haha)
If you're a mediocre artist, you'll starve to death.

Just say "Hockey vs Bicycling" then look meaningful and profound.

No. Design is communicating in service of somebody else (responding to a brief) art is motivated by personal expression and feelings (no brief)

(Rolling on the floor in agreement)Spookytim - ROTFLMAO @ Spooky!uncle_helv
- So if someone commisions a painter to paint thier dog, is that not art?spendogg
- I don't believe design is a service that needs a brief, but it certainly strives to fulfill an objectiveismith
- No, because even if he paints what he wants, he is painting somebody else's dog!uncle_helv
- So when leo davinci got commisioned to paint some royal dicks wife, it's not art?spendogg
- true ian and you do this by expressing what you feel is appropriate for whatever it is...uncle_helv
- ...you are designing!uncle_helv

Rephrasing and correcting my previous post:
Design serves a definite tangible purpose whereas art's purpose is defined by the individual viewer.

you know what annoys me...
i was the at the graduation exhibtion from my old school,
talking to teachers.
they argued that want to create something between an artist and
a designer. that inherently wrong. we are craftsmen that can be inspired through art. also the comment, its to commercial is wrong,
because commercial doesn't exclude creativity, the two can live next to eachother.
there is no design vs. art, its so artificial as the iraq war,
the two live in a symbioses where they benifite from eachother strengths.- Wow, its... wow, I just, I need to sit for a moment.Spookytim
- being ironic there buddy ;)tank02
- No I ilike what you said, I just had to absorb it a bit, and it was a bit cronky in its delivery which made me work hard.Spookytim
- haha, i'm not native english sorry...tank02
- You should hear me speak.. errr... Antwerpian.

Art can exist without design, design can exist without art. Seperate entities.
- neither can exist without a humanTheBlueOne

design obey rules, art doesn't.
design is the process of responding to a need, solving a problem.
Art is a personal form of expression.A final designed piece can be recognized as art.
Art cannot be recognized as a design.design with personal expression stands in between the 2 as they are comissioned as art but done as design.

I took an "Aesthetic of Art" class in my undergraduate years. Very first class the teacher put an Orange, a Cambell's Soup can and a hammer on his desk and posed the question "Which one is art?"
45 minutes of listening to 18 year old wannabes dressind in black and doc martens (hey, it was the late 80's..) opine "Well the orange is because it's perfect nature".."no, no the hammer because it's designed to create other things..it is creation that leads to creation..." ..."no, the soup can..it creates emotion, hunger in the observer.."
made me get up, walk directly to the registrar and changed my major from philosophy to political science. At least in politics SOMEONE has a gun or an army to just settle things at some point...
