I believe this is very much true. I hate the fact that I'm still a lousy designer, but I'm hopeful that with courses like HackDesign[1] I'm able to improve myself. I realise I know what a good user interface feels or looks like, but it's just so much harder to develop, yet at the same time it's almost a necessary skill for an iOS developer.

- seivan 14y agoI'll grant you it's not easy, but once you master both, it's quite nice to imagine something and then just do it. Not just in Photoshop (I've stopped using Photoshop and rely on Core Graphics). It's hard to do patterns with core graphics, so I tend to go with more a flatter design with shadows. But one thing you do need, is a good illustrator. It's incredibly hard to learn that stuff. Learning good looking design work is incredibly easy, especially once you got the code stuff covered. But drawings... that's something else, I gave up there. I can't draw.
