Art is a special subset of design. A design which features aesthetic appeal and some emotional reaction (either positive or negative) is art. The intent to create art must also be there at the beginning. But it can't just be 'I'm going to slap some elements together and try and apply some meaning to that'. The intent to create art with a specific message/meaning/emotional reaction that you desire to invoke in the viewer ought be carried through.
One associated question comes about when people interpret art differently than the way the artist intended. Does that make it bad art? or do aesthetics trump meaning?
