So, the question is "How is Graphic Design different from Fine Art"? Not so easily pigeon-holed, Graphic Design differs from fine art in that its purpose strays from the act of self-expression for the sake of self-expression, even though the end result is still a form of self-expression. It doesn't really seem to make sense does it? Things become even more complicated when money enters the equation. But, it is the money, or some other form of reward, that defines Graphic Design at the root level. Graphic Designers are paid for their work. They're contracted to perform a service to a client, to help establish corporate identities, and to fulfill the needs of a customer. In effect, because the work that the Graphic Artist performs typically is representative of the company or business owner that they serve, they can be considered the front-line unit of any business or corporation.
