Mungkin masih banyak agan agan yang berpikiran bahwa seni itu manual pake tangan (kayak sculpting, painting, dll), dan desain itu seni yang lebih modern karena udah terkomputerisasi (pake software corel, photoshop, 3ds, dll), tapi kalo kita tau lebih dalem lagi sebenernya itu salah berikut ane jelasin beberapa perbedaan dasar antara seni dan desain

Many designers consider themselves artists because they create something visually attractive, something they would be proud for people to hang on a wall and admire.
But a visual composition intended to accomplish a specific task or communicate a particular message, no matter how beautiful, is not art. It is a form of communication, simply a window to the message it contains.
Few artists call themselves designers because they seem to better understand the difference. Artists do not create their work to sell a product or promote a service. They create it solely as a means of self-expression, so that it can be viewed and appreciated by others. The message, if we can even call it that, is not a fact but a feeling. (selamat menerjemahkan )

Menurut ane kalo agan agan pengen mendalami desain agan agan harus mengerti manusia, ga egois dan harus peka (tapi jangan sampe sensian , nanti susah sendiri ), contohnya aja kalo kita mau ngedesain meja buat klien, tapi kita ga ngerti klien itu , apa warna kesukaannya, berapa tingginya, apa aja yang dilakuinnya, bentuk apa yang dia suka, dll, dan kita nganggap "mereka itu adalah saya", terus kalian ngebuat kursi itu seenak kalian. kalo klien itu emang kritis bisa di protes kita.
