Instead of learning from book, try yourself to be creative
|
|
|
|
|
Look at existing designs/websites/applications/whatever, and steal the ideas you like!

I second the recommendation for this book. It gives the non designer a really good grounding in the basics of layout and typography

I found the book "Don't Make Me Think" By Steve Krug a good read. It had simple guide lines and ideas for UI design. Better than nothing. Also "Designing Interfaces Patterns for Effective Interaction Design " By Jenifer Tidwell
I think the authors both have web sites that covers a lot of what the books cover; if you can not find the books or they are unavailable. I found them at my library.
Good luck.

Graphic design is an art, not a science or technique. There is a visual language that you can learn from a book, but the aesthetics of whether a particular design is attractive or not is art (and very subjective).
That said, learning the visual language will enable you to look at the work of others and start to break it apart into it constituent elements. Analyze it, decided what you do and don't like about it, and how you'd change it to improve it. This won't make you a graphic designer, but it will help you start to develop a personal graphic style.
We can program with only 1's, but if all you've got are zeros, you've got nothing.

I'd like to suggest this book:
Design Basics Index by Jim Krause
ISBN-13: 978-1581805017
I bought mine at Half Price Books, but Amazon also shows it as available for a reasonable price. (HPB is a brick & mortar outlet owned by Amazon.)
It is about composition and concepts and is totally tool agnostic. The design patterns he demonstrates will work in Photoshop, brush and canvas, or printed flyer or poster design. With each design principal he suggests exercises for practice. Without going into a full review I've found it very useful. I keep it within arms reach at my workstation.

No book will teach you to create an attractive design, but there are some that will teach you how to create a reasonable graphic design, which, with some artsy skills, you can improve into an attractive design.
Fortunately, I've never needed such books!

Earlier? How?
I'm up at 5:40, make breakfast for Mrs Wife and I, then she's off at 6:20. Coffee, get the creature from the black lagoon [neo-teenager] up and take her to school, come back and take little angel [Lucifer was an angel...] to school, home and coffee.
Today I also had an extended conversation with the greengrocer, vis-a-vis which peppers/paprikas he should stock for certain customers; i.e. me.
To add to that, there was also two rashers left over from breakfast so I had to fry them up and have an extra butty.
Now what have you done in the last 4 hours that didn't involve wellies and sheep?

Is it? My eldest brother was 50 yesterday.
He didn't say anything about the walking stick I gave him. I even put a bow on it!

I got a box of choccies, two and half whole cow hides (tanned), and an internet upgrade to fibre (which was installed a few weeks ago).
No sheep, no wellies.
But I will be eating Snake And Pygmy Pie for supper tonight, made with Lamb kidneys if that helps restore your view of the universe.
