Sorry to disappoint you, I\u2019m not talking about sex here; I\u2019m talking design.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\"aphrodite\"<\/a>
\nAt some point in our lives we may experience low libido and an extra boost is required to keep the passion alive. For centuries people have made use of aphrodisiacs as libido enhancers<\/strong> to achieve greater sexual health and functioning.<\/p>\n

An aphrodisiac is a substance such as food, drink, drug, scent or device that can arouse or induce feelings of sexual desire.<\/strong> Aphrodisiacs are named after Aphrodite, the ancient Greek goddess of sexual love and beauty.\u00a0 Aphrodisiacs have a powerful impact on the mind<\/strong> as they are thought to trigger the release of chemicals in the brain which then stimulate certain organs.<\/p>\n

In design, we need things, substances, foods, drinks that will boost creativity. For me, its a necessity to have my trusty \u2018Power Horse\u2019 energy drink beside me anytime I have deadlines to meet. Let me list a few of such design aphrodisiacs that stir up the \u2018feelings\u2019!<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Inspirational websites<\/strong>, e.g. Smashing Magazine, Vanderlay, Snell, just creative (Jacob Cass and some more.<\/p>\n

A film<\/strong>, minimized on my PC, preferably cartoons. Whenever I have the designers block, I simply watch the cartoon!<\/p>\n

Photoshop<\/strong>\u2026 I just doodle on PS CS3 and designs stroll my mind!<\/p>\n

Paperback Romances<\/strong>. Hmm. Don\u2019t mind me, but seriously, if I need to get my creative mind thinking well again, give me an hour with a paperback romance!<\/p>\n

Music<\/strong>. The greatest \u2018design aphrodisiac\u2019 for me is music. It turns away all distraction and clears my mind.<\/p>\n

Sleep<\/strong>. Nothing solves a block better than a good night\u2019s rest. Or day. You know I\u2019m telling the truth! Designers, especially web designers don\u2019t sleep at night. Imagine the wonders we\u2019ll wrought if we get a decent night\u2019s sleep.<\/p>\n

Guitars<\/strong>. Being a guitarist does help, you know. When design needs a rest, I go song writing and guitar jamming. Or I simply call my friends over and we play for hours on end. Hours in the studio or a radio station does calm nerves, you know.
\n
\nDrive.<\/strong> Well, I don\u2019t have a car yet, but driving, apart from cycling is one of the things I love doing best. So, I stroll to a friend\u2019s house, make myself a nuisance and plead for a 1 hour use of his car. Trust me, it works. lol. Sorry, Dave.
\n
\nMy final \u2018design aphrodisiac\u2019 is that itself -The aphrodisiac.<\/strong> There\u2019s nothing like a little food to clear the block in a designer\u2019s mind. And a little romance as well. Works wonders, I tell you!<\/p>\n
