Great question of the artist or designer. . . or both. . . or hyphenated: artist-designer. :)
I have always allowed them to be interchangeable; though, I know others who would not say the same. What makes one a designer as apposed to artist? One is still creating an aesthetic composition and bringing it to fruition. Is one a 'professional' but aren't there 'professional' artists? Do they then become designers?
