â€Å"The differences between art and design lie not so much in how they look as in what they do† Michael Brady How far do you agree with this statement? NAME: KWOK MING TSUN (CYRUS) STUDENT ID: KWO09280548 CLASS: 16 TUTOR: MARK UNWIN SUBMIT DATE: 4/11/2009 Since people started to debate the differences between art and design, there have been two different conclusions.
