I was terrible too at design.. and I have to agree to those points. However, the one that made the biggest difference for me was the use of whitespace. I would also add: - Don't be afraid to take space for important stuff. And to simply delete useless stuff. For instance, when I create powerpoint presentation, I put only one picture that takes all the screen.. this is way better then 5 small pictures a little bit everywhere. Or on a web page, I like when the logo takes 1/3 of the page. The main content 1/3 and the "a little bit" less important stuff 1/3. For an example of that: http://us.battle.net/?rhtml=y http://us.battle.net/?rhtml=y
