I think learning design can seem really difficult after a cursory glance at the design community.
Sorry to mention this, but it's the best way I know to help. I wrote an ebook about design specifically for coders and technical founders. It actually covers several of the issues you mentioned, like creating a gradient in Photoshop and how to use and pick colors. You can see a sample at http://bootstrappingdesign.com/pdf/sample.pdf http://bootstrappingdesign.com/pdf/sample.pdf
- adrianhoward 14y agoIt's interesting that in my observations of designers and developers - it's the designers who have more catching up to do... See http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=3949467 http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=3949467 for some of my ramblings on this earlier today.
- studiofellow 14y agoI hadn't seen that thread. Interesting that our experiences are practically opposite. I left a comment on that other thread, but I think this part is relevant here: Maybe we're all just pointing fingers at each other. It's obviously productive for everyone to gain basic competency in the opposite discipline.
