Depending on how much you are looking to invest, take a look at some design courses and books online. A good portion of them are targeted to developers who want to get better at design, as it seems to be your case, not only people looking at design as a career choice. Some links to check out: Hack Design - hackdesign.org (free) Design and Aesthetics course on Treehouse - teamtreehouse.com (25 USD / month) Design Lab's Design 101 - trydesignlab.com/web-design-course (299 USD, six weeks. You work through the couse with a professional designer from mostly well-known Valley companies and startups, who you send assignments to and they give you feedback. Check out their profiles pages of students, so you can see the feedback received by other students, it's a good way to learn. I'm looking to try it in the near future). Nathan Barry's books on design - nathanbarry.com/books (39 - 249 USD, depending on if you want the videos and supporting materials too).
