  I was going to say only designer who use drugs call themselves Rock Stars ... but that might just be cocaine.

  amphetamines help you work faster and longer and sometimes clearer... things like pot and booze help you loosen up and have fun. Pot also is good when you need to get lost in something repetitive [like making clipping paths]... but the ultimate answer — no...

  • I think I have to agree with you here.– sherman1/4

    how can you sit down and work after taking anphetamines– Meeklo2/4

    I usually involve a healthy balance of both...– neue75_bold3/4

    balance my friend.. and I'm just talking about coke..– neue75_bold4/4

  What drugs?

  Drugs is a pretty broad catch-all spectrum of things with an equally broad set of effects.

  • lets say the obvious ones, I hope no one does coke and works on illustrator– sherman1/2

    of course someone does blow then gets into illustrator. have you ever been to an ad agency?– applepirate2/2

  poeple who do drugs to be "creative" weren't creative to begin with.

  • not true– Meeklo1/5

    not true– 23kon2/5

    its just pussies that have never tried any drugs that would think that lol– 23kon3/5

    and thats not me saying "drugs are cool" - but everyone should try some soft drugs in their life– 23kon4/5

    I've tried plenty, don't worry there. Being "creative" on drugs just felt like an excuse to use them.– jfletcher5/5

  Smoking a joint makes me lazy and makes me not want to concentrate on anything in particular and i just feel like chilling.

  However, it's always when i'm really stoned and lying in bed trying to sleep that i've come up with my best ideas or solutions to design/flash problems etc.

  • and the fruit of one of these insomnia sessions will be launching sometime december :)– 23kon1/3

    I'm the exact same on both points.– AC022/3

  my roomie used to do some ADD meds before a night of copy writing.

  if you consider having ADD not being able to focus on writing when u have a football game and the stereo on. then i think everyone has ADD.

  Definitly. It makes me a better person too. The only issue is that drugs are expensive. But it definitly helps me getting better, more productive and friendlier. So yes, I recommend every aspiring designer to use more drugs.

  depends what your designing also.. and what drugs you are taking.
  i hear hammer isnt very useful in coming up with super complex designs.
