Decided to start up a discussion to see what the opinions of this guild are, just for fun and something to talk about.
I'm sure a lot of you have heard the question, "What is Art?" or "What is Design?" or if you haven't, you will probably hear those two questions at some point in your life if you do pursue a career in Graphic Design or something similar.
So here my question to you is, What is your definition of Art? and What is your definition of Design? There really are no right or wrong answers, I'm just curious to see what others may think about this. smile
As for me,...
I believe Art is anything that comes out of the imagination of an individual, to produce a piece of work through that person's feeling or emotion. Art can reach a wide variety of people, and it usually aims to leave the piece of work up for critique by many audiences.
I believe Design can be a form of Art, but they are not always directly related. Design has a more definite purpose, whether it be through the use of advertisements, websites, or mass media, etc. Design has a more monetary purpose for self satisfaction.

I think art is anything of a creative nature that can evoke an emotional response through a particular medium, be it fine art, comics, music, dance, sculpture, architecture, ect.
I think design can be art, but it can also be printed word, a logo, the walls in a house. Design, to me, is the act of conveying an idea in purposeful ways through various forms of construction.
Here's a couple of examples: the contents of a novel can be considered art, but the typographical choices, cover designs, layout, and illustration choices are design. A painting can be art, but its frame and placement are design. The music of a symphony can be art, but the layout, the dress, the venue, and composition choices are all design.
Make sense?
