Designers vs Artists

This article is from a design magazine and it talks about tips for how designers can create better interfaces. The reason I wanted to post this though is because it touches upon a key difference between designer and artist. The author states that the purpose of the designer is to not to make the users think, which contradicts what we learned in class as the purpose of art.
