How can I make an Application look nice and not like an amateur pulled it together?
I mean graphic-wise.
Is there some sort of book you can read regarding beautiful program layouts, etc?
I put this in Community Wiki so please feel free to leave your opinions that way we can all learn. 😀
Edit: Oh my god. I completely forgot to mention what kind of program. I mean desktop applications. Not web applications. 😀
Find a graphic designer.
I’m not trying to be snarky, I’m just sayin’. I fancy myself a pretty good developer, but I am at stick-figure level when it comes to graphic design.
The skills (and the tools) for good graphic design are fundamentally different than the skills of a developer.
