Graphic Designers?
« on: May 07, 2011, 09:14:26 AM »
Does anyone play around with photoshop, graphic design, and that sort of stuff?

I always have small ideas every now on than for banners of pro-drug or anti-war on drug but can never execute them for I don't want to learn graphic design, mess around with making an image.

I thought if enough people here had such an interest (be strange if they did) we could get a "creating  anti-war on drugs poster thread" and get a bit more into advocacy to lead to change? (futile, I know, but pretending isn't just for kids)

that might be no good if we dont want to stand out, that will be the first thing that will attract attention.. cops dont know anything about chemistry unless it has the word methyl or amphetamine or shake and bake or drain cleaner so they could come here and not know what the discussion is, but a big war on drugs banner? worries me

A freeware drawing program that's widely used:

the rather simple slashed circular "Drug War" bumper stickers that some activist lawyers display on their cars is pretty cool  8)

1. Make this look more like an activist site
2. The Banners wouldn't contain any links back to the site, and would just be posted on other sites...

I think subtle banners would work well.

like this:


"Albert Hoffman, distinguished chemist, died at age 102"
<Picture of Albert Hoffman>
"ALL ilicit drugs ruin your health and harm your intelligence" 

(but put more elequently... maybe mention how many times and how many different drugs he had done)


"Micheal Phelps, 9 gold medal winner at the olympics"
<picture>
<If you do marijuana, you may never reach your full potential>


"The War on Drugs"
<Picture of dead people on Mexico border>
"A haftey price, but it guarantees your kids will never have access to drugs"


Just stuff like that -- I'm sure there are more and better ideas - and probably something we should work on doing :)

He didnt do a lot of different drugs ...... as far as i have read ..... and he didnt do LSD a lot too ........ BUT ..... I`m open to info thats shows a different picture if anyone has any ? .

He had big warm hands though .......... LOL ....... <------- maybe thats hand dropping  = similar to name dropping .......

or maybe just put norml/hillary for president stickers on the bumpers of the cars of people you really hate.
depending on your locale.
rainbow stickers do the job nicely

Something good like this......

Gota mate who is a glass blower . He wants a sticker thats says "Best blow job in town"  = short , sweet and mind bending = something that makes people think that sticks in their minds  .

Me beein a provocative fucker ..........."Jesus would smoke grass" ,    "Moses was a shaman" , "The bible is based on .......DRUGS......" .  A BIG grass leaf with the words "Holy smoke" across it . OR a grass leaf with the old testament bit about "Grud made all plants and saw that they were good and they were good" OR "If its good enough for reagon , bush , clinton , obama its good enough for me" <----- One could add the other presidents that have smoked too . Cant remember which ones but one of them grew it and talked positively about it = Washington or lincon .  "Legalise drugs = pay the national debt" , "If you dont like drugs give them to me and i`ll get rid of them for you....... "
