How can an artist's choice of type influence the concept? Typefaces can easily control the whole feel of piece. For example, Comic Sans could easily suggest a playful and happy tone for the work while Helvetica would demand neutrality, modernity and seriousness. The typeface speaks for the words it spells out, implanting upon it the total feel and message of whatever the typeface represents.
What are some of the differences between art and design? or between the way artists and designers talk? This is a tough question to answer because I truly believe that artists and designers are the same thing. Both strive to create aesthetically pleasing images which evoke a message or emotion for the viewer. With this said I believe there can be some differences in the professional fields. Designers are usually contracted by others to carry out some specific objective through the use of form, line, color, text etc. Designers usually deal with digital images and less on traditional, tactile mediums and also usually receive little recognition for the work they create. Artist on the other hand seem to work for themselves to create a message that is solely from their imagination, additionally artists almost exclusively use traditional mediums and stand as representatives of their own work and receive publicity as such. They use practically the exact same terminology when speaking about their works, which to me alludes to the fact that they are working towards a very similar end product. In the end I believe there is no inherent difference.
