What’s the difference between artist and designer in your opinion?

15.November, 2009

Due to my Art Thesis project, i do need people suggestion to this topic "Designer vs. Artist". There’re much article on this topic, but i will review this one in terms of visual language (Illustration Poster). So I want to collect people opinion as much as I can, i want to know that do you know the difference between artist ‘n designer, or what do you think how difference they are.

thx a lot for ur answer ^^

an artist works for her/him-self and therefore has artistic freedom in all respects. a designer could be working for a company therefore being limited in respect of artistic freedom by the demands of the company. designing could be commercial whereas being an artist may involve selling for the best price but it’s not the purpose of the act of creating.

    For me, I have been both over the years.

    A designer works on a specific project, with very specific parameters set by the customer.

    An artist works on his/her own art, setting their own parameters. Even when I do a commission as an artist - the customer has input, but it is more limited.

    Also, a designer, creates his artwork so that it is easily understood. The purpose is to sell a product, therefore it needs to be easily read so that the consumer can understand what the designer is trying to communicate and/or sell. It is impersonal to the artist.

    The artist may or may not want his message to be communicated easily. He may want you to read into it, to create your own understanding, or to be perplexed by it. The idea behind the artwork is not always clear. It is much more personal.
