Well, as everything is life, you need first to learn and practice the basics, until you master them. With time you will get proficient, when you know how to combine color, shapes, distributions, layouts, etc. It's all about self-development.

I always recommend books from swiss designers, specially typography and grid systems. They're quite mathematical like for programmers and interesting to practice.
