Art vs. Design

http://www.aiga.org/art-vs-design/

In this article, Craig A Elimeliah discusses the differences and similarities of art and design and what sets each apart. He goes to say that the line that draws the difference between a designer and a artist is how they approach and do the projects assigned. An engineer will use a carefully thought out process, such as using grids and measurements, where as the artist does not limit themselves to such things but instead does their work with more chaos and emotions flowing through it. He goes into saying that designers should consider being more "artistic" with their work, to create uniqueness. They need more chaos and emotion to their work, but with their designer background, there will also be unity.
