firstly, i'd like to start with...
well, this isn't:
though geek designery humour it is. so...
what is graphic design?
to me, graphic design is the process, is the art of communicating visually. be it image or type, posters or videos, hand or computer made. the list is near endless. so...
what separates design from art?
the age old question, and may many flame wars ensue. for me, it is not the content or the media used to create the work, it is the function and context. design, by definition has to have a real-world purpose to some extent. art is usually created for the artist's own wishes, whatever they may be. though the lines blur, for example designers creating personal work that has no function, and artists whose work may have a political or social impact, it is this fundamental difference that separates the two. what the initial intent of the work was.
