Eames description of design not as a form of art, but as a form of purpose is an interesting way of viewing design.  I had always thought of design simply as an artistic method, but I now realize that it really is more of a purpose; design is for the consumer, the customer, not for the pleasure of the designer.  This, as we discussed earlier in the quarter, is one aspect that distinguishes artists from designers.  Art is created for the artist, while design is created for others.
