The Difference Between Art and Design

Perhaps the most fundamental difference between art and design that we can all agree on is their purposes.

Typically, the process of creating a work of art starts with nothing, a blank canvas. A work of art stems from a view or opinion or feeling that the artist holds within him or herself.

They create the art to share that feeling with others, to allow the viewers to relate to it, learn from it or be inspired by it.

The most renowned (and successful) works of art today are those that establish the strongest emotional bond between the artist and their audience.

By contrast, when a designer sets out to create a new piece, they almost always have a fixed starting point, whether a message, an image, an idea or an action.

The designer’s job isn’t to invent something new, but to communicate something that already exists, for a purpose.

That purpose is almost always to motivate the audience to do something: buy a product, use a service, visit a location, learn certain information. The most successful designs are those that most effectively communicate their message and motivate their consumers to carry out a task.

ADOBE FLASH..

Flash can manipulate vector and raster graphics, and supports bidirectional streaming of audio and video. It contains a scripting language called ActionScript. Several software products, systems, and devices are able to create or display Flash content, includingAdobe Flash Player, which is available free for most common web browsers, some mobile phones and for other electronic devices (usingFlash Lite). The Adobe Flash Professional multimedia authoring program is used to create content for the Adobe Engagement Platform, such as web applications, games and movies, and content for mobile phones and other embedded devices.

Files in the SWF format, traditionally called "ShockWave Flash" movies, "Flash movies" or "Flash games", usually have a .swf file extension and may be an object of a web page, strictly "played" in a standalone Flash Player, or incorporated into a Projector, a self-executing Flash movie (with the .exe extension in Microsoft Windows or .hqx for Macintosh). Flash Video files have a .flv file extension and are either used from within .swf files or played through a flv-aware player, such as VLC, or QuickTime and Windows Media Player with external codecs added.

TEXTURE..

Texture refers to Texture is sometimes used to describe the feel of non-tactile sensations. Texture can also be termed as a pattern that has been scaled down (especially in case of two dimensional non-tactile textures) where the individual elements that go on to make the pattern not distinguishable.

Texture may also refer to:

• Texture (painting), feel of the canvas based on the paint used and its method of application
• Texture (visual arts), refers to the element of design and its application in art.
• Texture (music), a way to describe the overall sound created by the interaction of aspects of a piece of music
• Texture (crystalline), the property of a material's individual crystallites sharing some degree of orientation
• Texture (geology), the physical appearance or character of a rock
• Texture mapping, a bitmap image applied to a surface in computer graphics
• Texture (food), physical and chemical interaction of food in the mouth (Mouthfeel)
• Textures (band), a metal band from the Netherlands
• Soil texture, describes the relative proportion of grain sizes of a soil or any unconsolidated material
• Texture (cosmology), a type of theoretical topological defect in the structure of spacetime.
• Character structure, various life experiences resulting in the "texture" of one's character
• Texture (roads), road surface characteristics with waves shorter than road roughness
• Textures (software), a well known software program to typeset TeX and LaTeX on Macintosh computers
• Texture (image processing), a set of metrics calculated in image processing designed to quantify the perceived texture of an image.
• The overall feel of discourse in terms of its coherence and connectivity.
• Microtexture of road surfaces
• Macrotexture of road surfaces
• Megatexture (roads) of road surfaces the properties held and sensations caused by the external surface of objects received through the sense of touch or feeling.
