Illegal narcotics.
It's the only possible reason for many designs...
On a serious note: if you have creative, artistic talents, then practice them - it's the only way to really bring them to the fore. (And to find out if you do have them, rather than think you have them)
There are books, tutorials, and courses on good design - google can find you loads!
"books, tutorials, and courses on good design"[^] - But if you don't have the talent to start with (and I know I don't) it won't matter much what you read or study!

If you ask the question, then you are not able to do it.
Are you an artist (in a general sense) (*)
Are you able to draw on paper? Have you got a sketch pad with you all the time to doodle things?
Are you able to paint and/or use different color medium (water, oil, ...)
Are you ready to spend countless hours in front of a screen (and/or paper) to learn your skills?
Are you ready to take modeling classes? are you ready to draw hands and feet until you can do it naturally?
If all fails, then use photoshop plugins.
(*) Not everyone is an artist or a good Photoshop technician; do not be sad.
I'd rather be phishing!

while creativity can't be learned, you can however make a black picture with a dot in it and call it art these days 
Life's like a nose, you've got to get out of it whats in it!

Remarkable.
When someone else asked the same question, a few months back, my response was that practice is the only way to improve, and I was attacked six ways to Sunday by people who were insisting that creativity could be learned from a book.

Not true! Not all leaders are promoted because they are useless.
Some are related to the owner.

Have to laugh as our current CEO is the son of one of the founders. 
This is not saying he is useless, just an observation.

And I'm sure he started at the bottom and worked his way up purely on merit.
In many cases this can take several weeks!

I had a dilbert calendar on my shelf last year. I kinda miss tearing off the old day and seeing the new comic. It's not the same as just looking it up online.

Cool. I think post mortems, or after action reports are great team tools.
Thanks for posting.

When we drive over Europe we keep tabs in stupid drivers by make and nationality. For makes of car, from this trip, the top five are:
4. Merc
3. BMW [a rare drop from the top]
2=. VW
2=. Skoda
1. Audi
You can convince your friends and family of your magical ability by leaving a gap of 5 or 6 meters between you and the car in front and as if by magic an elephant Audi with a sunshine at the wheel appears!
By nation, we didn't even bother rating anyone else, Belgium needs to stop driving. Special mention goes to the screaming wuck fit [see the CCC] who came around a blind corner at 6 am yesterday, travelling the WRONG WAY IN A ONE WAY TUNNEL, doing around 100 km/h. I don't know why, but maybe 30 seconds prior to this I had changed lane in the empty tunnel. If I hadn't I, along with my family and the kunt in the other car, would be dead.

When I was riding motorcycles up the A3 into London every day during the rush hour I used to figure that if I could think of five stupid things a driver could do in any given situation, some stupid elephant would find a sixth and do it.

I luurrve the A3. Not.
I used to bike in to the city that way too, I think around Robin Hood it would be safer just to get off the bike and walk down the middle of the outside lane.

Do not attempt driving in Italy. Just do not. It happened to me a fair number of times - to meet such a wuck fit (I'll borrow this BTW), not to be one.
ADDED: BTW if you ever see a azure Fiat Panda RUN FOR YOUR LIFE. Nearly died three times with three different azure Fiat Panda. I think it's a divine mark.

I'll second that - I am convinced that they all think they are Giancarlo Fisichella and that everybody else will give way in deference to their supreme driving skill.

Either that or they go 30 km/h on a 70 km/h road. In the middle or the left of the lane (we drive on the right so we surpass on the left).
I'm usually being angrily surpassed by sport-cars (Alfa Romeo in particular) or SUV when I'm on the speed limit, or angrily surpassing id-10Ts who take the car only the Sunday and never pull over the second gear.
Ah yes, living in the countryside I'll say nothing of the tractors who are forced to never go over 40 km/h (but it's a miracle if they reach 20) on the main roads...

Well, you don't drive fast in italy. Limit is 130km/h

And for good reasons - the term "road maintenance" is Romulan for us. Also we have many highways with only 2 lanes, maximum 3 - the traffic is something unthinkable.
The non highways are compositions of different asphalts, holes, bumps, curves, hills, hillocks, and whatever you may think...

I'll be honest, the Italians are rarely a problem. A bit slow but not really dangerous.

Usually those who have the guts to drive abroad (for some reason it seems that outside Italy everything is alien) are quite skilled with respect to the never-outside-the-country-town average...

In Germany, which takes us around 6 hours to cross, I set the cruise control to 150 km/h and I can often go upwards of half an hour without touching it. I take polite driving seriously, I know I'm not the fasted guy on the road, but I do know that I am steady and will keep going.
The normal is to stop every two or three hours, alternating between comfort stops and fuel. I fill up just before Folkstone and that tank will go almost down to Frankfurt. A fill there and we're off until the Austrian border when we have to stop to get the ticket for the roads plus another fill up. Across Austria and into Hungary for the last fill of the trip and another motorway toll. On the way back we fill to the same strategy.
