Most attempts to define what art and design are, and how they differ, emphasize purpose. Designers have one goal in mind, to which everything is subordinated during creative activity. Artists, on the other hand, work completely freely in this view, without their work serving a purpose.
Art as an end in itself, design as something specific
At first glance, this definition seems obvious. This would make it very easy to distinguish between designers and artists.
Themes and principles
You can find many design concepts in art and vice versa. Everything that is important in design, such as typography and book design is just as essential when painting a picture or planning an exhibition.
