Wrote this eons ago but I just found it yesterday. Got a sudden urge to do some minor tweaking and re-show it to the world. I know it’s oversimplified and naive but I still find it interesting to play with.
There are also some interesting thoughts on the intersection (and contrast) of art, design, decoration, and advertising on A List Apart’s The Bathing Ape Has No Clothes writeup.

¿Qué te parece?: design is art with a function. Todo el arte tiene un propósito aunque este sea simplemente ser agradable a la vista….....hmmmm…......esto mas bien es como un debate de definiciones, jeje, en fin…...por cierto a partir de ayer resucitó mi lap! Saludos
Para mi, proposito y funcion son practicamente intercambiables. Cual es para ti la diferencia?
Interestingly, David Weinberger has some notes [link] of a talk by Virginia Postrel on her Substance of StyleAM book. Seems she made the following statement: “Design has three purposes: Function, pleasure and meaning.”—which mirrors quite nicely the above poster (and following discussion).
