I have been doing a lot of research on the definitions or both are and design and the age old question what the difference between them is. During my research I came across a few interesting articles this one is off the AIGA website. The article discusses how designers use type and imagery to convey a certain message. It seems to me that fine art such as painting can revolve around that same definition. Artists often use imagery and type to convey a message. This article comes from another designer’s weblog which goes on to state that the main difference between art and design is their underlying purpose. It also states that art usually comes from within with no clear starting point and design and a distinct starting point but this does not take into account commissioned art. The debate between these two areas of study is very confusing to me and I would like to a little bit more research so that I better understand it. To combine my drawing talents with my design skill to me would be the ultimate accomplishment but without the knowledge of what separates the two I am in the dark.
