I am a terrible designer. When i say terrible i mean my designs for website somehow always manage to look like an ugly piece of shit.

Halp?

It is belived that Pablo Picasso once said “good artists borrow, great artists steal.”
That being said roam around the web searching for inspiration. A great start is muzli as they have a google chrome extension that lets you subscribe to different feeds that cover everything from design to tech and lifestyle. Subscribe to design feeds and look for inspiration everyday. Once you like something bookmark it and try to imagine how you would incoporate it in your apps. Also important is that you lear the fundamentals of graphic design as it helps greatly. One las thing is to keep things simple and ask yourself while designing if you would like to interact with what you designed on some other website. Cheers and get to learning :D

Become a dev

Behance & Dribbble.
Thank me when you get it :)

As @ShitOutOLuck already mentioned, muzli is a great spot, using google for inspiration you'll also stumble on top design.

Aside from that I'd also recommend you read up on best practices for UX (user experiance) design. Keep te mindset that a monkey should be able to figure out your design.

Takes a look at Google's material design documentation... It help me alot and inspires me to (in my eyes) great designs...

Are you a backend dev? My designs are bad as well but some tools can help. Just did cover for my new book with a canva template.

I find reddits internet is beautiful subreddit a good source of inspiration

Simple light shadows, super fast transitions, no or few animations, simple and elegant hover over effects. No slow autoscrolling or other bs.

Start by making everything a box. Like Google material design. It's simple and good enough, although not very original

ain't no designer but whenever i try to do some ui it looks like shit and most people find it not user-friendly

@Tychus i face the same problem

@jAsE of course i lack knowledge. Iam a student and i am learning.

Thanks and yeah EVERYBODY likes hamburgers.

@Jumpshot44
I am studying and looking around.
I have used canva before for posters / info graphics

thank you @ShitOutOLuck

thanks

@mohammed mix them both by using the Panda extension for Chrome, think it is for FF too, or you can use their website

I don't think knowledge is sufficient. Graphics design is a talent. Matching colors, drawing nice things is really difficult if you lack that talent.

Personally I offer a couple hundred euros to get excellent graphic designs for my own projects. I do that through DesignCrowd.

@jAsE actually you can learn good UI and UX design but good graphics design is a talent. Not everyone has an eye for matching colors, typography and the like. You can take courses and classes but if you lack the talent you'll never produce a great design.

The bar is high for great design, but it mostly comes down to vision which will come over the years!

@ShitOutOLuck muzli is nice :)

Switch to backend then.
