This is an oldy, but a goody. Cameron Moll - a certifiably great designer, I think - gave a presentation roughly a year ago called, Essential Web Skills, centered around nine skills that separate good and great designers. Here they are:
Good designers ____ : Great designers ____
- Decorate : Communicate
- Believe “less” is more : Believe “less” and “more” co-exist
- Fix problems : Prevent problems
- Are inspired within a genre : Are inspired by their total environment
- Macrodesign : Microdesign
- Treat text as content : Treat text as UI
- Use good typefaces : Use good typography
- Code for one instance : Code for many instances
- Redesign : Realign
