As someone who has been both, I am often asked 'What's the difference between an Artist and a Designer?' After all, the finished work of either could often be identical to the other - so is the distinction found only in the method?
One simple definition could be to say that designers give what people want or need, whereas artists give people what they didn't know they wanted or needed.
Considering that, as well as all the subtle differences (i.e. Designers get paid, Artists get chicks; Designers have fake bed-head, Artists have real bed-head), I think I have distilled the most concise answer:
Artists end sentences with periods; Designers end sentences with question marks.
example:
"This is what you wanted." versus "This is what you wanted?"
