Diseño de Tienda Online
There's a sharp controversy among the artists, designers and experts: is good website design an art? To know it well, we should comprehend the distinction between art and design? What are the characteristics that separate one from the other? Though, both artists and designers create visual compositions, using the better of their knowledge, experience and expertise, however the purpose of their doing so is completely different.

Now allow me to discuss on these points:

1. Good art inspires and evokes emotion. Good design motivates.

A great artist starts painting on a blank canvas and keeps doing so until he can draw a complete picture of his feeling and thinking, taking the elements he thinks would definitely help him sharing his feeling with the audiences in the best ways. An artist's intention would be to build a strong emotional bond between him and his audience.

On the contrary, a designer's liberty is fixed by pre-assigned message, idea, action, and the purpose of making the look. He's a fixed point to start and end it. A designer's job is to discover something with the elements that already exist and serve specific purposes. His purpose is to motivate the audience to allow them feel a desire for doing something like purchasing a product or utilizing a service.

2. Good Art is interpreted. Good design is understood.

Art as being a creation doesn't have limitation. It cannot be circumscribed by, definition, explanation and interpretation. Therefore people with different opinions, cultures, tastes, and amounts of education explain an art-work in different ways and viewpoints.

Say for example, the great art-work Mona Lisa by Leonardo Da Vinci has been interpreted in lots of ways by the Romantics, Scientists and Skeptics. Scientists state that Mona Lisa's smiling is certainly not but an illusion developed by peripheral vision. Romantics say Hireling shepherd is in love. Skeptics say nothing happens.

In contrast, the objective of designing would be to convey a note and motivate audience to do something. So a designer's sole purpose would be to get people to understand a note: what is the usefulness of his services or products.

3. Good Art Is really a Taste. Good Design Is an Opinion.

Art is really a taste that leads to various opinions. Say for example, a piece of art seems to one bad or good depending upon his taste, liking and disliking. If he is a champion of modern art, a bit of traditional art will seem to him age old and obsolete.

Design, too, depends upon taste. But the difference is that a design is considered successful and good only if it can fulfill its reason for motivating people for doing something.

4. Good Art Is really a Talent. Good Design Is really a Skill.

Art is a talent. It's a spontaneous overflow of powerful feelings and expressed through drawings, paintings, sculpting by a painter. It is a natural ability and inborn-quality. It takes skill in addition to talent. It cannot be taught.

But design is a skill that may be taught. It may be improved and produced by hard practice. Therefore, from the above discussion, we can easily come to the conclusion that design is not an art.

Website design as being a significant part of design, it is not a skill. A painter has the liberty to express the way in which he thinks. It may be a personal interpretation and subjective reaction of him. On the other hand, an artist needs to reflect the way other people think. It is the objective-reflection of how his target people and the client will take. He's to satisfy the goal of building a website.
