The Evolution of the category of Designers as distinct from artist, craftsman and technologist
An artist is a person engaged in one or more of any of a broad spectrum of
activities related to creating art, practicing the arts and/or demonstrating an art.
The craftsman is an artisan who practices a handicraft
The role of designer is that of a very good, thoughtful host, all of whose energy
goes into trying to anticipate the needs of his guest.
Art just happens as an expression of an artist's creative urge; Design is an artistic expression that has a predetermined purpose.
Art can be judged in the abstract but Design can only be judged by its effectiveness for the predetermined purpose.
Art is subjective and self expressive. If we’re making a design for ourselves, then anything goes. one can forget about usability and the normal conventions. When creating designs for clients, or for usage by others we do need to think about others. It’s about a fine balance.”
