Difference between Art and Design

This is an interesting but also difficult question at the same time. Spontaneous, I would say:

Art exists and is created because of the art, for example because it is looking beautiful or the artist wants to live out or perpetuate. 

Design, in my opinion, is rather functional: I am thinking about web design or product design. That means, here, we have a product or an aim and we give it a garment. For me, that is design.

So, maybe in most cases, it is right that design follows more commercial interests than arts, where there are also enough overlapping aspects. For example, a good design is always art for me, too.
