Artists of Newschoolers (Designer Drugs)

As a large community of people with copious amounts time on their hands, Newschoolers, I seek your help in a small artistic endeavor. As part of my final project for 'US Drug Education and Policy,' among other things, my group and I creating a small informational pamphlet concerning the recent resurgence of RCs in the recreational market (general descriptions, identification, and causes for concern). Now for the artistic aspect...

I'd like to find an image for the pamphlet cover that's serves as an artistic representation of these 'designer drugs'. Specifically, I was envisioning, say, a syringe donning a fedora, maybe a velvet cape, and touting a diamond studded joint acting as cane (I guess this may be more of the 'pimp' look as opposed to strictly 'designer,' but I think the point is all the same).

And yes, I realize the concept of the image is a bit cheesy, but it blatantly reflects the false sense of security these compounds elicit (that is, they're just regular drugs dressed up in commercial seals, attractive legal statuses, and cheap price tags) Moreover, as a pamphlet intended for college students, I think that if executed well, it would grab attention.

Anyways, it's not that I'm lazy, I just genuinely lack artistic ability. I've searched Google to no avail, and currently, I don't really know anyone personally that could do it as professionally as I'd like. The final project isn't due for about another month, I just wanted to throw this out there to see if I'd get any bites. To that end, Newschoolers, if any of you know of any images that fit this description, or you've got some free time and would like to craft it yourself, please let me know. I'm definitely prepared to offer cash for a quality image, our some sort of trade, or whatever it takes...Even outside of the scope of the project, I'd be stoked to have the image available for future purposes, so I hope maybe someone can assist.

Thanks in advance ya'll (possibly)

 
Syringe doesn't really fit. Could work a marquis in there

images


I have a good bathsalt image but I'm going to make a pin or sticker with it at some point. Good luck. It's nice to see somebody doing a project on something like this.

Too much ignorance out there. Ignorance might be bliss but it's killing people. Keep up the good work.
 
you could design some sort of a trippy image and place it on blotter paper..... the popular designer drug 25i-nbome usually comes on blotter. ...lol my idea prob sucks but it is all i can think of
 
Just to elaborate (although, I am totally open to new suggestions), the syringe/joint are intentionally supposed to represent mainstream drugs, yet their apparel (the combination of ignorance, apathy, false connotations, and general misunderstandings) disguises their character, effectively creating a more superficially appealing identity. Wanker, were you thinking the syringe wouldn't work because its commonly associated with heroin, which is not labeled a designer drug? Or because people generally don't mainline RCs? Either way, I was intending the image to speak to general air of mystery, per se, that shrouds these chemicals, as opposed to the substances themselves.
 
lol, and about the 25-i, anyone that lives in NY (can't speak for other states), if you want to stack up, you better capitalize quick. Scheduling for 25-i is on the 13th, but before then, you can still buy 10,000 hits for $0.0056 a pop. [so much profit/death]
 
I just don't think syringes represent mainstream drug use. I've know know people who have put all kinds of things in their bodies with those, but it's not really the mainstream drug use to me.

Also as you said people don't generally do RC's with syringes. Most people have problems with them are people eating "molly" at shows, dropping "acid" and other things.

I mean a syringe is def a symbol associated with drug use, I just don't think it relates. I mean if shock factor is what you're going for it looks scarier to people than a joint or a line. Idk just my thoughts.

 
^^True enough--I see where you're coming from. Ultimately, however, the image was supposed to be symbolic. That is, it's not necessarily referencing any specific drug, but more so calling attention to the fact that just because they're dolled up does not mean they're less dangerous (and pretty much everyone thinks needles are dangerous, right?). Anyways, thanks for your thoughts, that's my rationalization..maybe I'm thinking too much into it hah.
