Art is about oneself. Design is about others.

As a graphic designer myself, most (if not all) of the colleagues I've ever met want to feel sometimes like they're artists. Since I've working for the web even before I was studying graphic design at uni I never could understand why is that goal.

I don't think this is a "Steve Jobs" thing, Jobs wasn't even a designer nor programmer but a marketeer, and a successful one. It comes way before than him, and it reaches all branches of graphic design - until at the end of the day you remember you're trying to communicate something to _someone else_.
