The Difference Between Art and Design




 
Web Designer Depot has a terrific article that flows seamlessly into our discussion and exploration of the poster.  Please read this short piece, as we will be addressing this issue in class.   The main distinctions the author makes are:

Good Art Inspires. Good Design Motivates.
Good Art Is Interpreted. Good Design Is Understood.
Good Art Is a Taste. Good Design Is an Opinion.
Good Art Is a Talent. Good Design Is a Skill.
Good Art Sends a Different Message to Everyone.
Good Design Sends the Same Message to Everyone.

So what do you think?
Is there a clear distinction between art + design? Or do they overlap?
Can good design be good art?  Does good art need to be well designed?
