I'm no great designer, but a few things I did: 1. Read "Non Designer's Design Book" (amazon: http://www.amazon.com/Non-Designers-Design-Book-Robin-Williams/dp/0321534042/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1277896513&sr=8-1 http://www.amazon.com/Non-Designers-Design-Book-Robin-Willia...). 2. Subscribed to a lot of web-design blogs (try Six Revisions, NetTuts etc.). 3. Learned to work well with Photoshop. I especially loved Lynda.com's Photoshop courses. 4. Designed, designed, designed. As with everything else, actually doing is the most important thing.
