This is for 1st years, 2nd years, lecturers and anyone else who has an opinion.
I would like to ask you all to take a few minutes to leave your opinions on how closely linked you believe Fine Art (2D) and Graphic Design are. This could include your own personal definition of the two disiplines, how artists and designers differ and relate, and any examples you've found of design that you would consider art and vice versus.
Through my research I have found that the communication aspects play a huge part in defining the differences between art and design but in todays world is there a clear line between the two? As you think about it more you will probably feel alot stronger about this subject than you expected.
Thank you for your time and a strong reponse should really strengthen my essay.

There is not clear line, but there is a clear divide. Often this is defined through the work being a personal piece (art) and a commercial product (graphics).
Often these disciplines spill in to each other, informing both outcomes. The end result can still be read in to, be it implicitly or explicitly - leading some to ask the question, 'When does design become art?'
Depending on the market, design cannot afford to make the consumer sit and work out the deeper meanings of a toothbrush. It simply has to hit home and sell a concept.
YOU buy toothbrushes, not original masterpieces.
