Well, yes, the packaging is different, but as long as the product is the same, who's to complain?

Lovely. It makes me LOL that some early designer got to design packaging for heroin.

Drugs are awesome: it opens your mind and you feel really clever under their effect. It's a new world. Even if you die suddenly from them, you're just creating new job opportunities and in the end maybe you'll get a county commendation for being so ground-breaking.

I really need this last fix to finish this logo. It's really important, because design is about communication, and if you can't communicate you're really pretty damn well screwed and the Earth will not be saved. If I can't communicate the Earth is pretty well doomed and everybody will die. Is that what you want?

I mean, according to Bruce Mau, design can change the world - so if you do a bad logo the world is fucked, but if you do a good one then it's 50/50 chance! Do you see? Really? Do you see? Design can change everything - you just have to believe it!!!!11

according to Jon Preston (aka Dedric Reid[?])
Design = LOVE
" I'm not D. BUT I am a fan. Design=LOVE, not using false facts to try to ruin someone's reputation. Design=LOVE, working hard, because we love what we do. We create- we have the coolest job in the world! We need to spend time creating positive energy. We all have versions of "lookbooks" doesn't mean we represent it as our own portofolio in any context. Stop the hatred... Designers create ideas, not tabloids. Happiness is design. Love is design... Live it. "
And since love can change the word, then by the transitive property, yes, design can also change the world.

According to any Ent alive, we better make for the trees.

Hit the trees and stay low. Designers are childish persons with little or nothing to say, because they have read little and their profession is limited. Drawing is limited. Even if you're a good draughtsman. If you can't grasp what you really are, and admit it, then you're a fucking idiot.
Designers do decoration, and that's all they do. Good designers do memorable decorations, but that's all they do.
Let's stop this nonsense about design being a great profession, because it is not - it goes away the next day.
Stop sucking on your narcissism. Design is stupid: it's just about graphics.
If you want to look clever, move on to chess.

wait... you're saying we should design chess pieces?

Love to see these old products. One that always sticks out in my mind is that you used to be able to buy tape worms in a bottle to use for weight loss. I remember seeing a real bottle with an old tapeworm inside. People would swallow the things whole (they were close to a foot long). Disgusting....and how did they get them out?

Ecstasy (MDMA) was originally created as a weight loss drug
