I have learned over the years and during this debate to separate two mediums. In my view Graphic Design and Graphic Art are in truth two separate entities. I'm sure the individuals who does magazine layouts for print uses typography and the like. Now with the Graphic Artist they may in fact open up Photoshop grab their Wacom pen and began to airbrush. I don't consider myself to be a Graphic Artist, but a Graphic Designer. Graphic Designers create communication vehicles and Graphic Artist create art work. We as Graphic Designers are artist aesthetically in every way, our work however is derived to create action to invoke, not only to inspire, but to sell and merchandise. The argument here is between Graphic Art and Fine Art not Graphic Design I believe. Of course this is only myn opinion on the subject.
