Does good craft design fall into this category?

I fell in love with these pincushions - which I'd love to get for my sister and mother.



And while examining the artist's archives, I came upon this her terrific quilted tikis.
I was just admiring something similar:

I'd say the pin cushions fall under design, since they are in some way functional. (I include graphic design, since it's purpose is also functional: messaging, advertising, etc.) Cool find!

I love when designers take ubiquitious visuals from everyday life nd turn them into art or craft.

Most coveted [book] covers.

Further, I have a major girl boner for Penguin's.

The Gothic Red series (not available in the US, and a bit pricey - for me - to purchase from the UK) is also STUNNING. Painfully so.

Once upon a time I wanted to be a book designer. And then I chose to attend a college that had no emphasis in design...and, for my first two and a half years there, had little more technology than computers that could process words.

Looking at these jackets, I feel a painful lack. Gah. But I thrill at the beauty.

Umm, indecision and lack of an editor?
