  But what about the high-level stuff? When is a design "good", what colors should you use, etc. Such information is very hard to find on Google. Learning programs such as Photoshop and Inkscape, IMO, is the easy part. There are so many tutorials about how to do specific effects. But not about when to apply which design principle and such.

    In my honest opinion, you won't find any such useful information. I've seen horribly design sites convert extremely well and visually appealing sites convert extremely well. Design principles can be broken down into so many broad tangents beyond visual looks that it gets ridiculous. While there are some books that touch on various stuff, in my honest opinion, the best way to learn UX is to really just try various stuff until you understand the basic underlying principles that meet your specific site needs.
