drugs haven't made me a better designer. they've helped make me a better person, though, which translates into other areas
although i can say mescaline has helped me understand color and light theory better

depends what your designing also.. and what drugs you are taking.

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.

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.

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.

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

- its just pussies that have never tried any drugs that would think that lol23kon
- and thats not me saying "drugs are cool" - but everyone should try some soft drugs in their life23kon
- I've tried plenty, don't worry there. Being "creative" on drugs just felt like an excuse to use them.jfletcher

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

- of course someone does blow then gets into illustrator. have you ever been to an ad agency?applepirate

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.sherman
- how can you sit down and work after taking anphetaminesMeeklo
- I usually involve a healthy balance of both...neue75_bold

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

I think being a designer makes you a better drug taker. You aught to see the quality of my joints

depends on what drugs, and who is taking it.
