The terms "graphic artist" and "graphic designer" are often used interchangeably, but seeing both types of artists as the same is a lot like seeing football players and baseball players as the same just because they are both athletes. There are key differences, though there also are similarities.
Article 2: Art vs. Graphic Design: The Debate Rages On

The debate as to whether design (or graphic design) can truly be classified as art in the literal sense has raged on for years. It’s a complex and rather convoluted argument to have, as both designers and artists create their own visual interpretations and compositions with the skills and knowledge set they have. Their reasons and motivations for engaging in those artistic acts, however, are total polar opposites.

I have read so many books and articles on design and on art, what it is and how it should be executed. I must admit that since becoming a producer my designing days have taken a backseat to management. I enjoyed being a designer and now I enjoy working with designers in addition to every other aspect of production. I was at home contemplating what the difference between design and art is, and I think I have come up with some pretty clear lines between the two and have also identified where those lines have become blurred.
